My daughter loves to do art!  So I wanted to get her an apron to help protect her clothing.

I couldn't find one I really liked and everything I found was a bit pricey given the fact that I didn't love them. 

(Really?  $20 for an ugly art apron that will eventually get stained and ruined...no thanks.)

So I made my own.  (Well...sort of.)

I picked up a kids size apron at Michael's.  It normally was only about $5 but I used a 40% off coupon so it was less then $3.  And then I bought an iron on sparkly cupcake, applied it, and voila, a really cute art apron!

The final cost was only about $5.  My daughter thinks it is great and wears it when she does art and when she is pretending to cook in her kitchen!  And I don't care if it gets stained and eventually needs to be replaced!  Win win!

    HI! Due to the huge success of my Linky Love Library page, I am changing the way I organize it.<br /><br />I would LOVE it if you would come and link up your party to the day of the week you host it. <br /><br />It will make it easier for people to find it and will give you a thumbnail for your party.<br /><br />You can link up to the library here: http://paisleypassionslinkyparty.blogspot.com/
