Framed Burlap and Paper Flower Spring Sign
A few weeks back I shared a fun Pottery Barn knockoff using some picture frame mats. I've finally gotten around to using the actual frames. This is a really easy project and I love what it does for my mantel as we head into spring.

DIY Valentine's Day Subway Art Banner
Have you been decorating for Valentine's Day? I have a few pops of red and pink around the house and earlier this week I added this cute little DIY Valentine's Day subway art banner. It didn't take me long to make since I used my Silhouette to cut a subway art freezer paper stencil (for the tutorial and designs I used, head over to Silhouette School). If you don't have a Silhouette cutting machine you can always make the banner with a few different Valentine's-themed stamps, by cutting your own stencil by creating the design in Powerpoint and then cutting it out using an exact knife, or buy purchasing some heavy paper or plastic stencils.
However, you make your design, that's the fun and creative part. But before we get to that let's talk about the actual banner. I posted a sneak peek of this on Facebook a few days ago and someone asked where I got the scroll. The answer is - I made it using a small piece of dropcloth and a dowel.
My flag is about 12" x 10". To make the same size, you'll want to cut a piece of drop cloth 15" x 11". Fold the two sides and the bottom over half an inch each and press with a hot iron. Sew a straight stitch across these three sides.

Announcement: Two It Yourself opens 'Silhouette School'
I have some exciting news to share today....there's been a lot going on behind the scenes and I'm thrilled that I can finally share it with all of you. As of today we have launched a sister site - Silhouette School.
Silhouette School is a new site devoted to sharing tutorials, craft ideas, inspiration, and much more on the Silhouette - a popular (and much loved) brand of paper cutting machines. Two It Yourself and Silhouette School will be closely linked as we'll often be showing off the DIY craft ideas - right here on 2IY - that resulted from the tutorials taught in Sihouette School. The two sites will also carry each other's logos on the sidebars so you can bounce back and forth quickly and easily.
Silhouette School will also be looking for substitute teachers (aka guest posters) so if you'd like to share an idea, tutorial, or just a really cool post about the Silhouette, we invite you to apply.
Be sure to follow Silhouette School on your favorite social media sites - we're live now on Pinterest and Facebook and we'll be adding more sites soon.

We couldn't 't be more excited to continue to grow and we certainly hope you'll be as good to us on Silhouette School as you have been to us here!
Thanks for stopping by 2IY! If you like what you see, we'd love for you to pin it!
