Revamped

Im going to show you my decor mishap...it happens a lot.  Things look good in my head but when I actually do them, not so much.  Several years ago I bought all 4 of us new Christmas stockings.  I decided 2 days before Christmas that I should put our names on them.  I couldn't find what I was looking for as far as iron on letters go so I grabbed a glitter glue pen.  Big mistake.  It was goopey and globbie (not sure if those are words but they work for me) and a disaster.  Stockings aren't cheap so I left them the way they were and for years cringed each time the gold glitter shinned in the Christmas lights.  This year I decided to do something about my mess up.   I could of just covered the top half in ribbon but decided to go another way.  I found these feather thingies and letters for our first names since I was covering up our names so now the stockings that used to look like this now have a little pizazz to them.  Here is the lesson, even if you mess up try and think of ways that you can revamp.  Cost was $2 each to fix since everything was 50% off.
