Chevron

I am in love with Chevron right now! 
When I saw these chairs that a lady had redid with
chalk paint I knew I HAD to have them!!

 

 

 

My kitchen had navy blue accent walls, wich did not match with my chairs,

so I painted them yellow. I took my bar stools

to the lady and had her paint them to match.

I HATE to pay full price for home decor.

  I always keep my eyes open for treasures at the thrift shops, yar sales, or antique stores.

Luckily I inherited this glass water bottle from my husbands grandfather.

(I still have one more setting out in storage)

About a month ago I saw a bottle similar to this at the floral and they

had it all decorated up cute wich gave me the idea of what to do with mine. 

(since I wasn't going to pay $145 for the one they made)

 Burlap is the in thing now, I see it everywhere.

 I knew I wanted to incorporate it into my kitchen so I bought me some burlap and some chevron material.  I used Fabri-Ta wich works like hot glue other then you don't burn yourself while using it (wich is a plus for me because I'd always blister my fingers) and you don't get the stringy glue everywhere.  It was $11.99 at the fabric store. 

 

 

 

This was such an easy project. 

I had the BINGO card from a project I had done earlier

that a lady picked up at a thrift store.  Everything on this bottle is

glued on.  Even the flower I made with zero sewing.  

 

I haven't sewn in years and I don't even own a sewing machine,

but luckily my sister let me borrow hers. 

I took a white dish cloth and sewed the chevron and burlap on the front

 

 



I added the chevron material to the back of an old window I had.

(again, used the glue to adhere it to the wood frame)

 I cut a piece and put in the bottom of my serving tray

 

 

Then I made me some curtains to hang over my window above the sink.

 

 

 

Total cost for this project was

 

Chevron fabric $10.95 for 1 yard

Burlap $8.99 (still have alot left over to use on other projects!)

Glue  $11.99
