I love to look at little wooden houses in retail stores where they display cute little knick knacks [that I won't buy for myself but will squeal with delight when I get them as gifts...*winks*] so I was excited to find an "unadorned" one at Daiso. :)
The good folks at Xyron sent me a whole bunch of pretty coloured burlap from DCWV that was perfect for this project. I ran the 4 x 6 burlap pieces through the Xyron 5" Creative Station and cut them down to size to fit my wooden house. I also adhered the map patterned paper from DCWV to the back of the wood unit. :)
Them I added some crochet and paper blooms, a remnant piece of lace and some bling.
I kept the embellishments simple because I really wanted to maximize the storage space for each slot. Plus I was going to use 3M velcros to adhere the unit to the wall so it needed to be light too.
Here's how it looks with an Angry Pig thumbdrive. Cute, eh?
