One Simple Bliss

I transformed my plain tacks into something a little more fun. I used some scrap fabric and decorative flat glass rocks (I forget what they are called) to make these. I also made some with cute words. This is a fun and cheap way to jazz up your plain tacks and dress up your cork board! They can be made for little next to nothing! I bought the tacks and glass rocks from the dollar store. The rocks are usually used to fill vases and other decorative containers. They are in the floral section of the store. I bought the clear ones.  All you have to do is cut your scrap fabric to the size of the flat side of the rock, add some glue (any kind) and press the fabric to the rock. Then hot glue your tack to the flat side of the fabric covered rock. That's it! You can also print out names or words and do the same. The only thing I had to do different with the printed words, was cover the ink with a piece of clear tape, or else, my ink started to run when I added the glue.  

We were at Target the other day, and the little one wanted a princess fishing pole. I did not want to buy her the pole, and have it sit in her room, never to be used. So I decided I was going to make her a fishing game she could play inside the house. This is what I came up with: Her very own fishing game. I used some left over felt squares, paper clips, string, a magnet and a wooden dowel. This is SO easy to make, and she has been having a blast with it since! First you will need to get your material: Felt  Paper clips Wood dowel Magnet String or embroidery floss and needle. glue gun Fish outline Once you have your material, take your first felt piece, fold it in half... Lay your fish outline on your felt piece, pin, and cut it out. You should have two pieces. Keep them laying on each other as is. Take your floss, and tie one end. Thread the other through your needle. Start at the mouth of the fish. From the inside,
