A while ago, I posted about this house I made out of cardboard.
I had every intention of painting it but we decided to doodle all over it, instead.
Much more fun!

I'm totally loving our new IKEA ANTILOP highchair, it's sleek, inexpensive.. but also pretty boring. So, I thought I'd jazz it up a little!
Using a (FREE!) pattern from BurdaStyle, I whipped up this little gem in about 30 minutes or so. I plan on making more since they are machine washable, easy and so fun!
If you own an ANITLOP highchair and would like to make your own, the pattern can be found (AGAIN: FREE!) HERE.
Ta-da!

YOU'LL NEED- Fabric mod podge
- Needle
- Thread
- Fabric scraps
- Scissors
- Patience! :)
THE STEPS
- First you'll want to find an image to use. The options are unlimited. You can freehand, or find an image online and print it out and use it as a stencil.
- Take a section of fabric and apply an even coat of fabric mod podge. Once it's dry, it'll stiffen the fabric and make it easier to cut out your design. Some tutorials I have seen online say to cut out your design first, then apply the mod podge, which you can do.. but I found it easier to do it this way. Whatever works for you.
- Trace and cut out your design.
- Apply a GENEROUS, thick layer of mod podge and press firmly onto the tee
- Once that's dry, sew around the edges with a contrasting thread color. This part isn't technically necessary, but it adds a little something and also keeps everything secure.

Super quick and easy! The little man didn't even fuss during the imprinting process. Win! I will probably mount this one in a shadowbox and put it on the wall. You could also paint it, but I personally love how it looks like sand.
// SALT DOUGH
half cup whole wheat flour
half cup salt
one third cup water
PS: You can use regular flour if you'd like a smoother consistency.
Preheat oven to 200F. Combine ingredients to form a consistent dough. Roll into balls and form small patties. Gently press little one's foot into the dough. Bake for 2.5 hours. Done!
