Boards, clips, and tacks! Oh my!

I made this board for my friend, Jennifer at work. She works in our school office, so a lot of people have seen it and I'm getting requests to make more. I freakin' love the paisley print of the fabric, her's turned out way cuter than mine and I'm a little jealous!



Another teacher had a cork board in her room, but wanted it dressed up. Don't mind the squigglies all over her name, that's not art, that's me not being sure if she wants her name blasted all over the internet.


Then I made a hair bow holder for a little girl I know. Her mom told me she likes zebra print and hot pink, so zebra print and hot pink she got.


(My arm costs extra)

And since I was making a bow holder, I had to figure out how to make bows, these are a few of the ones that I made last night.

The tails on the bottom one would have been longer, but when I was using my lighter to seal the ribbon edges, the whole thing started to burn up. Oops! Still pretty cute anyway!

And last, but not least, the tack making has gone overboard! We recently took a 6 hour each way car trip and came back the next day, so I was busy punching out circles to make tacks and magnets. (obviously, I was the passenger, not the driver)


This really isn't even all of the ones I have, there are others that are in different stages of completion.

Update

I've been working on teaching myself some new crafts (thank you fellow bloggers and google) and also quite a few more bulletin boards. I'll update you guys with pictures this weekend!
