Family!

I plan on making a wall in our house dedicated to family pictures. This is what I made to have as a title to the wall. I bought the wood block for about $3 painted the block pink. Cut "family" on the cricut as well as the flowers. Mod podged it all down and glued the buttons on.

More Mod Podge!

The picture didn't turn out good but the project did! I bought the wood block for about $1.50 and then painted it blue took a old temple calender and cut one of the pictures to fit, applied mod podge to the front and back. Sanded the edges to make it look antiqued.
I made this using some wooden letter blocks from the craft store. Then I painted them brown with basic acyrlic paint. Then I put the blocks wrong side up and traced the paper, then cut the letters. Then applied mod podge to the back of paper, and let it dry. Using and exacto knife I cut the rough edges. Applied mod podge to the top of the paper and let it dry. Using a nail file I sanded the rough edges. Using brown ink applied the edges to make it look "distressed" . Then tied ribbion and hot glued the buttons on. It was a lot of fun, these letters have been sitting in our room blank for over a year. So I am excited to hang them on the wall. K - for Kate and S - for Sam!!!



Feelin' Crafty

I made all these things today... instead of doing housework. So much more fun! It did make a mess though, Sam is just going to have to deal! I now have mod podge, ink, and paint all over my hands. But hey it was fun!
