This year for VBS we learned about the Virtuous Woman.  Trying to figure out a way to decorate for this was somewhat difficult, so Dixie and I put our heads together and decided to do pink and black with polka dots and zebra.  I think it turned out rather well, don't you think.  The girls liked it so much we decided to leave it all up.  This was so easy to decorate for.  A lot of the things we already had.  Notice the shoes?  They're mine.  The hats?  Dixie's.  The jewelry, nail polish, lotion, make-up, scarves, flowers and most of the gift bags we already had as well.  Dixie made the blocks with our initials on them (on the top shelf) and she made the nail polish, shoe and purse cut-outs with the zebra paper (on the bottom shelf).

 

Dixie made these beautiful curtains below.  I made the pink "canvas" with the polka dots and flower on it.

  

These are more canvases that I made and the Bible verses throughout the room I printed off the computer.
The big pink thing is supposed to be a vanity.  This was rather easier than I thought.  I used the fireplace that our Dad and brother made for us for our Western VBS and covered it with pink wrapping paper.  I then used aluminum foil for the "mirror" and put ribbon around it.  The things on top are all things that Dixie and I already had.

The big pink and black zebra square is supposed to be a photo board.  I used the left over fabric from the curtains and hot glued it to a cork board.  The door is decorated with zebra wrapping paper.  All of the polka dot's throughout the room, we cut out of pink and black construction paper.  A bit of a time consumer, but it definitely filled a bunch of empty space!

    

More Bible verses I printed off of the computer.  Dixie's photo album. The polka dot banner I bought from a party shop.


More polka dots from construction paper and my jacket.


The "vases" I made out of Pringle cans and wrapping paper.  The flowers came from Michael's.



 
The pink end table was only $10 at Hobby Lobby, so I had to get it.  A great addition to our classroom. 

We did all of this with less than $75!  We wanted to make sure that everyone knew that our Sunday School room was a teen girls room.  So what do you think, did we succeed? 

Have a great day!
SMILE, GOD LOVES YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WESTERN VBS DECORATIONS

This hung above the chalkboard (window).  It is made out of poster board, colored computer letters, and some craft rope!

This is our window (chalkboard).  Dixie drew this beautiful picture!  Doesn't it look like a real view from a window?  My Mother made the adorable curtains.


I just had to get these Cowboy boot hooks!  Aren't they adorable?  Sorry the pictures aren't that great.  My favorite one is the one with the rope on it!  Probably because it has an orange star! :)

  

This, I think, is my favorite decoration!  Can you tell what it is?  Well, let me help you out if you can't, it's a fireplace!  My Dad and brother built it!  Isn't it amazing?  You can ignore the fact that the "flames" are upside down.  We had a fan blowing on them to make it look like a "real" fire. And that concludes our Western VBS decorations.  We still have some crafts to share with you!

Here are some more of our VBS decorations.  We like them so much we're going to leave them up for a while.  Be sure to keep stoppin' by, because there are plenty more pictures!  

 

 
 

 

WESTERN VBS DECOR

Our Mother made these pillows for us for VBS. We used them as part of our Western decor. Aren't they great? She worked hard on them. What an amazing Mother we have. She did it without a pattern!

 The total cost of these pillows was $1.00! 

For the front of this one she used a bandanna.  The back is just some extra denim looking material.

We had our VBS a couple of weeks ago and we had a rip-roarin' time!  This year's theme for my class was "God's Round-Up".  We had a week full of fun and have a lot of pictures.  We turned my classroom into the inside of a cabin.  It really looked like one!  The only thing is I didn't take pictures of all of it before we tore it down.  Can you believe it?  I am so mad at myself.  I do have a few though, so you will be seeing them throughout the next few blogs.  We also had fun crafts that we will share with you as well.

The first thing we're going to show you is a picture that Dixie free-handed.  I'm telling you she is a professional!   She also made the adorable frame.  We used this as a decoration and a prize.
