Dr. Seuss Wall Decor

So, to say I love Pinterest would be an understatement. I have more pins than there is actually time to do all the things listed. However, I couldn't pass up on this one craft idea for Rachel's room.

Here's the link to the original post: http://fancyfrugallife.com/under-the-stairs-closet-turned-kids-book-nook/

Here's my supplies: 4 Dr. Seuss bags I picked up in the dollar bins at Target at just before the start of school, 2 - 2 packs of small canvases that you can buy at Walmart; a can of spray adhesive, a staple gun and staples, some scissors.

I also bought some premade wood letters at Walmart and used some white paint I already had at home to hang on the wall next to the canvas art. I think it turned out great and didn't cost that much! Rachel's always talking about her Dr. Seuss pictures.

Rachel wants a Princess mirror

Rachel had been asking and asking to have a Princess mirror, that was purple and glittery. I didn't have a clue where I was going to get said princess mirror, so I figured I'd have to make her one.
This is the beginning shot. Materials included the basic $10 mirror from Walmart; and they actually had glittery foam shapes, princess shapes, and letters. So I just stuck a bunch on and called it good.

Rachel was asking us on the way home from her hanging out with a friend about going to the store to buy said Princess mirror, and she was so surprised when she got home and found her mirror, just the way she wanted it!
