Okay so... I'm not a crafty person but I really wish that I was so for some reason I have been on this kick lately that I wanted to be more crafty and its sort of been taking off in the last week. I have one project that I'm working on that isn't blog worthy yet but out of the blue I started and finished a different one today!
So Cole's little sister Annie is turning 9 tomorrow and she invited me over for her birthday dinner so.... for who knows what reason I decided I wanted to make her birthday present. Maybe it was because she is always drawing me pictures or making me bend-a-roo sculptures to put in my room so my subconscious wanted to make her something? who knows but this was the final product of the project I came up with!...
I started off by going to Michael's and got:
scrapbook paper
Paint
Ribbons
a wooden A
a wooden board
Mod Podge
and a plain picture stand
First I sanded down the board to make sure that it was smooth and had no rough edges and then I painted it. (I painted the back Pink and the sides white)
Then I traced out the A onto the scrapbook paper cut it out, cut out the other paper to fit the space on the board then Mod Podged them on...
Then I tied some Ribbon around the A and the stand...
To finish it up I glued the A to the board with tacky glue....
it was super easy and if i do say so myself I think it turned out really cute!
