I love pinterest. Am I the only one that pins a million DIY projects and never does any?
I decided to change this the other day... so I browsed through my DIY board and picked this.
Isn't it so fun? Well, I clicked on it and it was just a photo. Ugh.
So I invented my own way of making it...
DIY: My heart will always be in UTAH
So I went to Michael's with my 50% off one item coupon in search for the supplies.
I ended up getting an 8x10 canvas board.
Then I got blue paint and ivory embroidery floss.
Total: $6!
(I already had the nails- maybe 2 bucks from home depot)
I painted the canvas and nailed the nails in place for the state outline.
Then I made up my own little heart, where SLC is....
Next, I took the embroidery floss and wrapped it around the outside nail,
connecting it to the heart nails. Make sense?
Ta-Dah!!
What do you think?
Truly.
My heart will ALWAYS be in Utah.
I still call it home :)
This is so so so so cute!! Utah is still considered home to me as well. I never do my DIY pins either...but with real intent to when I'm out of my in laws home and have space! And I will definitely do this project.
ReplyDeleteCute! I'm sure it helped to have an almost square state :P Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh I hate it when there's only a picture, not a link or instruction included. SOO annoying! Way to be crafty and figure it out!
