Baby Girl Clothing Dividers

I found this idea on Pinterest (so no, I did not come up with it) but it looked so easy and such a great idea!  We just found out we are having a baby girl, and so my brain has begun the process of thinking about what we need to start doing to prepare!  These closet dividers are the perfect way to organize baby clothes.  

Supplies needed:
  • Acrylic paint
  • Glue
  • Mod Podge
  • Paintbrush
  • Wooden O's (I bought 6, but only used 5)
  • Scrapbook paper
  • Sticker letters
  • X-acto knife



Paint the outside, inside, and one side of the wooden O's.  (*Hint: paint the outside first, then inside by holding it, then lie flat and paint one side.)

Let them dry (doesn't take very long).  Then lay out on the scrapbook paper, instead of tracing them and then cutting them out I just ran the x-acto knife along side the O.  Worked really well!

Glue on the scrapbooking paper (keep the glue REALLY thin, I made the mistake of making a couple too gloppy and it made the paper wrinkle a little).  Stick on the letters/numbers. Next, mod-podge using a paintbrush.  I've never used this stuff before so I was just guessing how much to put on, I used a moderate amount......

Let dry, then commence organization!  I own zero baby clothes.....but when I do I will be ready for them!

Framed Fabric

I am so not someone that is good with art work....I don't want to pay for it and I don't ever know how to use it! So I found some cute fabric and bought a 3-5x7 picture frame. Wha-la, art work for the wall!


All you need is fabric, frame, and scissors. (I thought maybe I might need some tape to hold it in place, but it was fine without).



This 'art work' was for my laundry room, we recently repainted in there and I needed a little something on the wall. Perfect!
