Jute Monogram

I love jute! (So, why don't you marry it?) Let me tell you, if jute was a man, it would be oh-so popular, good-lookin, and hold things together. I saw these plain letters at Joann's a while back and immediately knew what I would do with them.


I also bought an "L" (all of the letters I needed for our monogram, as a matter of fact). And I began to wrap...


...and a few days later, I was still wrapping...


...and a WEEK later, I was still wrapping...


Yes, ladies and gentlemen, 1 week and 2 lifetime movies later, I had wrapped all my letters. While I love the clean, simple look of them plain, it was time to add some embellishments.





And the finished product; our monogram.

Coaster Memo Boards

Maybe it's the teacher in me, but I can't get enough post-it holders and memo holders! I was at Michael's down the dollar aisle the other day, and I spotted a set of 6 cardboard coasters for $1.00. I knew exactly what I could use them for. I grabbed them and some mini clips.




I used scrapbook paper and cut it a bit bigger than the coaster.




I then wrapped the coaster in the scrapbook paper.




I glued down the edges.




I also cut a piece of white paper to serve as a backing- just to cover up any messy edges.





I clipped on some post-it notes and added some buttons to the bottom because, well, I just kind of like buttons.





It can be displayed anywhere. Hanging on a post, or on the fridge!




Write this down: This would make a nice gift for your child's teacher, or anyone you know who jots down little notes here and there!
