Re-do on a Dime Presentation

This past week, my ward asked me if I would do a little presentation on "Re-do on a Dime." It was fun to do the class and it made me get caught up on a few projects that I needed to finish.

This is the display table that I set up. I then went though each item and talked about the technique used to create the item.

• I talked about how to make a simple valance.
• I talked about how to make silhouettes.
• I talked about making art by paper piecing.
• I talked about glazing.
• I talked about spraypainting.
• I talked about making a throw pillow and freezer paper stencil.

One of the big thing that I suggested was decorating the big, expensive things in neutral tones... like your couch, carpet, etc. Then, add the color with paint, accents, throw pillows, curtains, etc. Neutral toned furniture tends to not go out of style as fast. I learned that the hard way by purchasing a few plaid couches that were outdated in just a few years but in very good condition.
