A big thanks firstly must go to Big cat for organising this lovely swap...Secondly to my mum for helping me get the idea out of my head and into fruition. Apologise for posting a day early but will be extremely busy tomorrow and then going out to dinner late!! Apart from that here it is...(for those who don't understand it is a mail holder to put important pieces of paper like invites , flyer and other family stuff that can clog your desk.) Oh and our theme was on "in the woods".
This is it in use...

I used iron on tshirt transfer to do the tree trunks onto a canvas material stapled around a piece of pine. Sporatically there are pouches for the mail to slide into. Then I glued the green tree on the end. Was actually not too difficult. And no sewing needed!! Right up my alley. Oh and I got my hubby to put the hanger on the back because that's a mans job!! LOL
Hope you will not only like this curly pops but will get lots of use out of it. Hope it matches your kitchen??? Please forgive the amateur attempts. Squint so that you don't see the imperfections LOL.
