Back in December of 2013, I posted a tutorial about how to make a fabric stiffened angel. This is still my top pin on Pinterest. To see the tutorial, go here.
Since then, I’ve done a couple more as gifts and I thought I’d show you how different they look just by changing up the fabrics.
I was looking online for a Pittsburgh Steeler ornament for my nephew, husband and a friend as a Christmas present. (They are all major Steeler fans.) I found one that I really liked, but they wanted $6.00 plus shipping & handling for just one. I knew I could make them for a much better price. Since I was making them, why stop at just the Steelers?
These are so easy to make, and very inexpensive, especially now that there are after Christmas sales going on. And the best part is that they can be customized for any sports team!
Here’s what I came up with:
It’s football season. Here in the Steeler Nation, it’s a big deal. You see it everywhere. Everyone is wearing their team’s colors. It’s only September, and there is a sea of black & gold as far as the eye can see. And I’m sure, if you’re a football fan, you’ve got the television tuned in and everyone is watching. Decorating for that special day in your home is easy. You may remember this centerpiece from the Steeler Tablescape. I thought you might like to know how I made it. This can be made in any color combination, to go with your team’s colors.
I live in the Steel City. Football season is a big deal here, in the Steeler Nation. Although I’m not a big fan of sports, the men in my life are. So, each football season, I decorate for it. I do Steeler tablescapes, Steeler accents in the kitchen, & I even go as far as decorate the bathroom. The only time that I’ve gotten a reaction from my husband about one of my decorating projects is when I did the bathroom. Usually it’s a “that looks nice”, but his reaction to the Steeler bathroom was, “Wow”. This is how I did the towels in the bathroom & kitchen.
