Wall Letters!
I made wall letters for a friend of mine and have to admit they turned out pretty well. I can't wait to see what they look like in her nursery. They were very easy to make and pretty inexpensive too. I bought the letters at Hobby Lobby half off, of course! I used scrapbook paper and Elmer's spray adhesive. I get an exacto knife and cut from the back with a lighting source pointed at the front. This gives me the line to follow in my cuts with the exacto knife. I will be make more for my nephews and sister soon!
I realize it's been a while since I've posted. I have done a few hit and miss craft projects. I found how to make your own chalk paint on a Facebook group I belong to and decided to try it out. I have to say I was very disappointed! I used acrylic paints as the tutorial suggested as well as using the amount of ceramic tile powder grout. The finished product was much like writing with chalk on a sidewalk like we did as a child. I didn't like the bumpy strokes then, and I surly do not like them now! I bought commercial blackboard chalk paint and was happy with my end product. This is what I did!
