~ DIY... the speedy fast kind ~

I am no DIY wiz by any stretch of the imagination

I like things done

speedy FAST

10 minutes max for me kidda FAST...

my

tool of choice

A HOT GLUE GUN

{a million thanks to the genius who invented this tool...but after years of using I still manage to burn myself}

I could never quilt...takes toooooo long

.....unless I could use my glue gun?

.....no on second thought it just won't work!

So this is what I whipped up the other day

for my daughters room

not perfect by any means

but kinda cute and so easy to do

the stool was a cheapo from Ikea....

I called the original stool ugly because we had used it for painting and

it was covered with splashes of colour

{ sorry if you are one of the millions that own one of these stools.... yours is really not ugly...mine was}

now for a real DIY project
I thought this was kinda cute
borrowed from Once Wed DIY project file
{please check it out for details on entire project}



I think I could do this one
no sewing involved
looks speedy
is adorable
and those cupcakes...
could someone send me over a few!?

In fact I am going to give it a try
Wish me luck

Happy Friday to you all
