Decorative door stop


I don't know about you,but I like to keep my bedroom door open at night so I can hear the kiddos. The only problem is that my door will not stay closed. I usually put a sock or some article of clothing in front of it to keep the darn thing from closing. Well I decided it was time for a change!  The people that owned our house before us left all these random pieces of wood around. Have a look

This was still better than the clothes on the floor. Not by much. So I got some fabric and hot glue out and dolled it up a bit. I also used some decorative nails to keep it in place.



 
Kind of a funny project,but it was really fun,I want to do one in all the rooms. And it was stuff I already had!

  1. Another fun project, Connie. I like to have my bedroom door open as well to hear my boys at night. It's a mom thing. :) Thanks for linking up!

  2. Cute idea! I have the same problem with my oldest's door. I'm using her piggy bank to keep it open, but this is an idea I might need to try. Thanks!
