Since we were going to be moving in just a few months I kind of put the shutters on my mental back-burner for awhile. I had the beginnings of the final product going and it just slowly came together. My husband wrote a beautiful poem a few years ago that I have wanted to hang up somewhere in our home so I decided to incorporate it into this project. This one was a little pricey-er but I'm very happy with it!
Materials:
~ Shutters
~ Fabric
~ Poem
~ Shelf
~ Paint
~ Things for shelf
~ Things to hang shelf/shutters
I bought this little shelf at Robert's and painted it brown to match the shutters. The things on the shelf are just things that I had lying around my house.
The trickiest part of this project was figuring out how to put the poem onto the fabric. I didn't just want to slap a piece of paper on top so I decided to create a "frame" with fabric. I sewed four little tubes and ironed them out flat. Then I hot-glued them into place around my poem. I really like how it turned out!
Here's the view from our bed.

I love it Rach! You always come up with something so clever that ends up looking so great! Tell Craig that is a beautiful poem.
Love you!!
Rach, I saw these when you let me come crash at your house and my jaw literally dropped and I think a squeal might have squeaked out, I was so excited! I knew you would think of an amazing way to display those. It turned out great! It makes such a statement in your room.
