Stenciled Fall Charger
It's September, which unofficially means that summer is over. So, it's time to pack up the summer decorations and start decorating for fall. As I was cleaning up my summer stuff, I found my patriotic charger and thought a charger would be perfect to use for this design.
Here is what you need:
Plastic Charger
Sandpaper

Sandpaper
Vinyl
Paint
Spray Finish (Optional)

Here is what you do:
1. Sand the charger and paint it beige (or whatever color you want) and let dry.

2. Cut out and apply your vinyl stencil.
3. Paint the acorns and the center circle.
4. Let paint dry, then carefully remove the vinyl. If desired, apply a spray finish.
I got my charger on clearance after Christmas for under a dollar and used paints I already had, so this project was super cheap. I love how it turned out!
The colors are certainly not traditional fall colors, but I really like how they look together.
My kids asked me if acorns really come in those colors :)

Decorative Cutlery Wall Art
This week, I took a break from organizing the kitchen and spent some time making these cute wall hangings. They were easy to make and can be done in any color to match your decor!
My pieces of wood are about 12" x 3.5". I used a router to add a decorative edge and painted the base coat white.
Then, I added my vinyl decal.
Next, I painted the top coat over the vinyl decal.
After the paint dried, I carefully pulled up the vinyl.
Then, I lightly sanded the edges.
I used some staining medium mixed with brown and painted over the top. I wiped off the excess with a paper towel.
I also made a matching fork and knife.
Now, I have some fun original artwork for my kitchen!

Kitchen Drawer Organizers
I've spent the last couple weeks working on projects to organize my kitchen. This week I focused on some drawers that needed some help. I found this tutorial that shows how to make DIY drawer organizers. It was just what my drawers needed.
One additional step I added was labeling the drawer with vinyl decals. This way, everyone can tell what goes where, even if the compartment is empty!
This project was really easy, just a few straight cuts and some glue. The hardest part was deciding where I wanted everything to go.
