This afternoon I went to Hobby Lobby with the hubs and the boys, looking for a few select pieces of wood for a project. I decided against it though, because I know for a fact Hobby Lobby has the unfinished wood pieces half off sometime during the month, so to be frugal, I waited on those.
BUT! I did remember a project that I had seen at one of my favorite blogs,
Shanty2Chic, that I knew would be inexpensive! So I bought a cardboard letter "P" for our last name, and some jute! The letter was $1.99, and the jute was $2.99, can't beat that!
Here's all I needed for my project!
All you do is take your glue gun and glue and stick the jute on! I didn't glue all the way around, only where I thought the jute needed it to be able to stay on.

And here's the finished product! I love the texture of it! Sorry for the bad coloring, I so need a flash for my camera.

And here it is hanging on the nail that was already on the mantle! I've got a few ideas for things to go on each side of the letter, but it'll be awhile for that. :)
Oh yeah..and at hobby lobby they also had flowers half off, so I picked up these white tulips for $3.50 to replace the hydrangea's from my centerpiece project! I love tulips! And I also glued jute to the candleholders, and made bows out of the jute! :) I did this before the big game, while the hubsters was watching the pre-game show!

This random photo of cuteness is free..just letting you know. :)

OH..and from our home to yours,

WHO DAT baby!!!
