Gettin' Crafty
It's Staple Gun Inauguration Day! Purchased with some of my birthday money, this little baby will take me far and keep me from asking the church custodians if I can borrow theirs overnight. You can see how happy I am to show this off because I am totally focused on the gun and I don't give a flying fig about the hair in this pic. Obviously. In fact, I'd say I look a little drunk with staple gun happiness here.
Here's what the back of the Hobby Lobby canvases look like. I had spring/summer prints up before, as you can see in this lively floral pattern.
It takes 5/8 of one yard of fabric to do two of these canvases. You just start stapling. The toughest part is negotiating corners--just like learning to drive. Well, at least you don't have to parallel park these.
So I just push the corner in, then overlap each side, staple all together.
And voila! Don't you love to say "voila!"? I don't have that many opportunities to say that. So, you know, this IS a special day. Now what do you think I should do around it? My walls are so bare, and I do love metal artwork ....

Very cute! I do like voila, but hate when people write viola instead!
Fun! You are so artistic! It would never occur to me to do the cool things you do. I am so craftily challenged. Give me a spreadsheet or something to alphabetize any day!
And at least you can spell voila! I always laugh* when people spell it viola! I always want to send them a picture of my girl's stringed instrument! :-)
*not in a mean way!
Well, look at you Mrs. Craftypants! What a fun idea. Now I just have to find a blank wall.
How nice-great job!
I like this idea a lot. Do you have your own toolbox? I always wanted my own.
I do love to staple. And say voila. Enjoy your new toy. I mean tool : )
What a great idea, I think I will try this. Have a great night.
Now aren't you creative!
Prettiful!!!! I have a friend who does something kind of similar...but she uses wallpaper (the textured kind) and pizza boxes (new ones)...FUN!!!
Cute! I love the mix of patterns within the repetitive shape!
I LOVE it! It makes me want to do this, and I'm really not that crafty.
Oh, and what about when people skip the v altogether and say "wah-lah!" Yep, I've seen variations on that, more than once.
