I've seen several totally homemade checkbook covers out there and while I love them all to pieces, I really enjoy what I have now. Well, mostly.
Every crafter has to add their magic-ness to all that they touch. I pulled out my glue gun (what is a crafter without her guns?!!), some fabric, and my sewing machine.
Total Cost = $0 (leftovers, BABY!)
All I did is cut a strip a fabric (1-2 inches) 2x longer than the length of my checkbook.
Woe! Those look like two different colored fabrics (crazy lighting!).
Single-stitch down the center of the fabric.
Pull the top thread and bunch up your fabric.
I used two different fabrics and layered them. To adhere to my checkbook, I just used hot glue. Yep! You heard me. I glued it!
I didn't even burn myself.
Isn't it purdy?
Who needs a bedazzler when you've got ruffles?
Maybe I'll end up trimming the fabric down, but I'm really liking it as is for now. And when I tire of the ruffles, I can just rip it off and do something else.

I love that blue fabric. What a good idea. I'm having a giveaway. If you are interested stop over. I love that all your projects are from reused materials.
Now that's just stinkin' adorable!!! CUTE!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. To answer your question about my laundry room shelves....they were from Home Depot. They are actually coated (like melamine kinda)...this makes them super easy to keep clean. They are with the organizational stuff...all the wire shelving and that stuff.
Have a crafty week!
That is so cute and so able to be done.
Hmm, think I can't hubby to carry something that cute? Thanks so much to linking up to Beyond The Picket Fence.
