It's been a while ...

I sort of lost my blogging mojo for a while there.

Because ... I've been busy growing a baby!

And it's a girl!

Here's the binker bean at a mere 15 weeks.

Look at her little legs and arm!

And here's me at 25 weeks.

I've also been busy knitting baby sweaters,

Working on Baby Girl's room,

Here's a sneak peak of a bookshelf turned into closet

There will be more about my nursery DIY's to come!

And of course still crafting away for my little etsy shop!

infinity scarves and cowls here

But here's my latest crafty creation.

DIY Closet/Clothes dividers for baby clothes!

After seeing several DIY's on Pinterest I wanted to make my own.

These are a gift, but I will be making the exact same ones for my baby girl.

I added the ribbon because not everyone has a removable bar in their closet.

This way they can either slide the divider in place, or tie it on!

I'll take ANYTHING to help try and keep me organized as a new mom to be!

Here's what you need:

4 wooden letters

Or more depending on how many dividers.

I found the best deal at Hobby Lobby.

Sold in a 2-pack for 99 cents.

Paint (acrylic or spray paint)

Glue

1 sheet of scrap book paper

Or any paper really!

Exacto Knife

Sand Paper

Number stickers

Mod Podge & brush

Use the real deal or make your own like I did.

3 parts glue, 1 part water (or more depending on desired thickness.)

Ribbon

I simply made a loop and pulled the ends though for tying into place.

Step 1. Paint one side of the wooden O's. I used Krylon spray paint and gave it a few coats. Make sure you get the sides too!

Step 2: Apply glue directly to the non-painted side of the wooden O, and lay them onto the sheet of scrapbook paper. Flip the sheet over, and rub the paper so that it has adhered to all parts of the O smoothly.

Step 3. After the paper has had time to adhere to the wood, flip the paper back over so the paper is on the bottom. Be sure and put a cutting mat or cardboard underneath, then use an Exacto Knife to cut the O's from the paper.

Step 4: I sanded the edges of my O's and thought it made the paper "blend" in a little better. You can also sand any rough edges.

Step 5: Apply the number stickers.

Step 6: Mod Podge over the paper and wait to dry! (you could do both sides if desired)

Step 7: Cut ribbon and loop around the O's. Your closet dividers are ready to give as a gift or to keep! I will not actually use the ribbon for mine because I can slide them onto my closet bar. But it's safe to go ahead and include the ribbon if they're a gift just in case!

Here's the DIY I based mine off of, but made a few changes and cut out a few steps!
