My 5 year old has been asking for a Spiderman room, so lately I have been focusing on his (and his brother’s) rooms and decorating them. I found this fabric at Walmart and decided to do lots with it.
First I made a little board for his art. I made it because I really get sick of it being on the fridge!!
This is how I made it:
1) I got a board and covered it with the fabric. I stapled the fabric to the back
2) Using mod podge, I put on the letters onto the fabric and then I did a coat over the whole thing.
3) I spray painted the clothes pins red and then glued them to the fabric. I used a lot of glue because it has to stand up to kids….
4) I stapled ribbon to the back and then hung it up
I made a few other things with the fabric
I made curtains! I am an amateur when it comes to sewing. I don’t even own a sewing machine, I had to borrow one from a friend. Luckily in the picture you can’t tell how crooked the lines are 🙂
I used 1 1/2″ ribbon for the loops and then spray painted some big buttons black and hand stitched them on
I also used some 7/8″ ribbon on the bottom for some added cuteness. Or as my 5 year old would say, “coolness”
I then took the fabric and put it on the light switch plate. I just used mod podge and put it on. The best part, I can take these with me if we move and just replace them because they only cost $.20!
I absolutely love making things for my boys! They get so excited when I make them something, it just makes it all worth it! I’m almost finished with his room! Now I just need to figure out the comforter, if I’m going to make one or just buy one… decisions, decisions.

Thanks for stopping by the link up on Monday. My son would love you. He's obsessed with Spiderman, but I've been holding off on decorating his room. I dare not show him this post or he'd ask to come live with you. 🙂
