Closet Dividers



Overall, this project was pretty easy and they looks really nice in the closet! One of mine is missing because I haven't decided how to decorate the 12-18 month one. I did use the "skinnier" door hangers because I couldn't find the thicker ones (I got them at A.C. Moore). I also used a Gloss Acrylic "Sealer" spray at the very end to seal so the paint doesn't rub off on clothes or chip. I used stencils for the numbers and letters also as I don't have good hand writing ;) I had to abbreviate months ("mos") as the stencil script letters were too wide to fit the whole word. I would say this project cost me a good amount...like $35? This is only because I had no painting supplies like brushes, etc. so I had to purchase EVERYTHING. I now have acrylic paint, paint markers, brushes, finishing spray etc. for any other projects. I just used left over ribbon from my Quick Tagged Blanket to hang them in the closet.

No Sew Blanket (A.K.A. Tie Fleece Blanket)


These are really easy to make and are soooo warm and cozy! This cost me
about $17, but I now have extra fleece left over for another project. You could make it cheaper,
it just depends on the price of the fleece you choose which is based on the type of fleece,
store you purchase it at and the pattern/color you choose! I made my blanket a final size of 40" x 30".

UPDATE: I have since found this post (see link) on Pinterest on how to make the ties on the blanket "neater." I will be using this next time around! http://anewchelseamorning.blogspot.com/2007/08/anyone-can-do-this.html ---> scroll down the page to find the post.
