First thing’s first. I am not crafty. I am, however, very very broke. So as a result I am teaching myself to become crafty.
I like new things, but due to the *ahem* lack of funds, instead of buying new things, I am making old things new.
This is my fist attempt, so please don’t laugh.
Before: (yes, it’s upside down) 
After (part one): I removed the old fabric and stapled the new fabric and ribbon on. I purchased the fabric online through purl. It came in a day and I was so excited to get it! 
After (part 2): I made my fabric covered buttons using a kit I purchased at JoAnn’s and superglued them over the staples where the ribbon intersects. It is so cute and I cannot wait to hang it! This project was a perfect confidence booster, was no-sew (thank GOD!) and was less than $10!
