For the Love of Bears....NOT

I saw this crap-tacular beauty and fell in love!

I know! I know! You must be thinking WHAT?

But seriously I entered the DI and there she was.
Sitting upon her end cap thrown waiting for the hordes of people to come clawing for her.

I quite literally ran without giving thought to my wee ones trailing behind.

I was ready to sink my claws into the masses.

I grabbed her!!

Pulled her closely to me and turned to glare at the crowds!

Fortunately the only person who had noticed my mad dash to claim my prize was the sales clerk with her mouth gaped wide open, obviously in shock!

I am sure she was thinking "This lady is Nutso. That piece is totally UG!"

But I didn't care she was soon to be all mine!

All for the pretty price of .75cents!

And this is her story...sniff...sigh...yes, true love!

I gave her a healthy coat of white paint.
And then sanded her down to my likings.

Pulled out some of this....

Cut it down to size.....
and regretfully (tehe) covered up that wretched bear.

Hot glued the fabric down.

Then added this left over trim from an earlier project.

Hot glued that down as well.

So far so good!

Now to add a few push pins , handle, and accessories for some WOW.
They only had clear push pins at Wally world...so I improvised and made something a little more chic'!
I took decorative brads, snipped off the back and hot glued them on to the head of the push pin.

And a totally DRAB TO FAB  makeover!

Ready for some art work, a note from mom, or whatever!

Perfect for my girls room!

(See that flower..Yep...that is another one from my silk flower making. I added toile and feathers for even more pizazz!)

If only I could see the look on that sales clerks face NOW!!
