No, it doesn't normally sit in the middle of our living room, but that's where I do most of my projects. And please, when you look at this picture, try to ignore all the baby toys, the empty Dunkin' Donuts bag, the 4th of July decorations that are still out, and the fact that yep, there's dirty laundry in the hamper (which could stand to meet an iron). The hamper certainly serves it's purpose, and was really inexpensive, but it's just so boring. Enter my love of all things labeled.
I grabbed my favorite chipboard letters (same ones I used to stencil on the porch swing) and some fabric paint. I first traced the letters...
and then, totally ignoring the paint's instructions to lay the fabric flat, I painted in the letters. Super easy!
So "gentle" went downhill a smidge. That's probably due to my refusal to measure. But I'm still happy with the finished product!
Anybody else crafting to relieve stress tonight?
Linking up to a few of my favorites ~ go check them out!

Love it...that turned out great!
Cute...Could certainly use that in my laundry room.
Measuring is overrated! I love it!
I love this! I had one of those bins & got rid of it because no one followed the sorting rule anyhow. Wish I had seen this before I tossed it! Brilliant! Your newest follower from the 'whatever goes' blog hop. Hope you can stop by sometime- Yolanda
Super cute laundry bins! I always craft to relieve stress. When I'm super crabby my husband often suggests I spend some alone time in my craft room! :)
Looks great. I need to do this to mine. More the Merrier Monday will be open until tonight at midnight. I would love for you to stop by and link up your hamper. http://diyhshp.blogspot.com/

I love it! It's practical and cute...the perfect combination. Lisa~
You're very good at those stencils! That turned out really cute!
Turned out super cute! I am going to be redoing my hamper too, but unforunately mine it too stained to do an easy face-lift. I will actually have to SEW...boooo!! :)
Great addition! I love the font that you used! Hope that you get all of your paperwork figured out! :)

Is this hamper husband proof? I love this idea, and I do craft to relieve stress, and I do love your picture of your family room, because it shows we are all human!
