Fun and Cute Crafts!

I've been wanting to do a couple cute things for the girls' room for a while now and today I finally did it! :) 

I'm adding yellow to the girls' room and my amazing mother in law has made a quilt for Chloie's new big girl bed and a matching one for the baby's crib with yellow, pink, and brown fabrics. So I needed to add just a little to the decorations in the room to tie it all in. (I don't have the quilts yet, or Chloie's new bed But as soon as I get their room COMPLETELY put together I'll post pictures of the whole thing!!)


So I got these letters at hobby lobby to spray paint with a pastel yellow.

 ^this is the color I used.

 I did 3 coats (I wanted them to look a little more vintage so I misted them lightly 3 times instead of doing solid coats)

I saw someone else do this a while back and for the life of me I cannot remember who did it.... but Thank you for the cute idea who ever you are! :) This is just a Styrofoam ball that I pinned the cute colored tissue paper to to make it all poofy and fun!  

Chloie really wanted to help me it was cute! 

This is the size of it after I finished the first one (on the right is how big it was to begin with)  


The hot pink one I did with bigger squares just to make it look different.


Chloie was exhausted from all the crafts I guess :)

Here are the finished projects, I'm pretty happy with them!  


 The "C" for above Chloie's bed (I made the matching pink flowers with my sister in law Whitney, they are made from T-shirts and are super easy to make!)


The "E" for above the baby's crib (don't bother asking what her name is all we know is that the only 3 names we both like all start with E so it will start with an E for sure.)  :)



And the cute little pom-poms! 





P.s. All of this cost me about 12bucks to do, thanks to Hobby Lobby! Seriously my favorite store ever!
