I had this really cool pillow that I loved but after a couple of years the burlap backing was tattered and torn so I decided to re-purpose it. I bought a decorative chipboard shape at Hobby Lobby a while ago. At the time I just thought it was cool and that it would come in handy some day. I was originally thinking to mount a watercolor photo on it and I may need to go back and get another one for that project but in the meantime it worked great for this project. Let’s get Started You will need Mod Podge, a sponge applicator or brush, an old credit card and any surface for mounting. You could use old barn wood, maybe glass, cork – just use your imagination! I figured out approximately where I wanted the bird to be and then cut down my fabric to be just slightly larger. Apply a generous amount of mod podge and apply fabric. Use your credit card to smooth out any bubbles. I then used mod podge on the sides and attached the fabric there as well. You could cut it out to be the exact shape and finish with a ribbon trim or paint also. These would make great Christmas gifts and easy enough for your kids to do for their friends.

We are working on a new collection at Simon+Kabuki. It’s a fun one! We are illustrating retro images and adding fun pops of color and cute sayings. So far we have illustrated an old typewriter, a phone, a fan, a camera and a bike. We also thought adding in some cool converse high tops or van’s type shoes would be fun. Can you think of anything else we may have missed? I love going old school it reminds me of Leave it to Beaver, and lets me imagine a kinder gentler time period. Well at the very least a cheaper time period, I don’t know about you but paying for cell phones, cable tv and the internet sure adds a lot to the monthly bills. I didn’t live through that period so maybe it wasn’t so great, who knows?! We also have a new line of dishes coming out that has the retro feel. They should be available in Hobby Lobby early next year. As soon as we get samples we will post...
