Craft Day

Brittany, Anna, and me decided to have a craft day. We quickly found out that we were a deadly combination in craft stores! We ended up spending most of our time shopping, and not actually crafting. Once we were finally finished shopping, we headed to Brittany's house to work on our crafts for the day!

Brittany was making some picture frames. She made one with a monogram for her and her husband. She also made two frames with her dog's paw prints in them. They turned out way cute!

Anna made several closet things. Here you can see her baskets to hold hats and other supplies. She had a little bit of yellow popping through, it looked really cute! She also made a shelf to hold belts, some letters that spelled out 'dress' to hang in her closet, a crate to hold towels, and a smaller crate to hold toilet paper. She sent me some pictures of the finished product and it all looks so good! She is quite a creative person!

One thing I made was some picture frames for our fridge. I of course had to paint them orange to match the rest of the kitchen. Then I taped pictures to them and added a magnet to the back. I also got some green frames to add another splash of color.

My other project was making a plaque with a Bible verse on it. I started painting the background of the wood a light tan color.

Then I used my Cricut to cut out letters to see what size I needed and where each word would go.

I then cut out the same words in vinyl and used contact paper to transferred it to the wood.

Next I painted the whole wooden plaque with a dark brown spray paint.

I let the paint dry for a day before attempting to take of the vinyl. Once it was dry I used tweezers to peel off the letters.

Here is the finished product. I need to do a little touch up on some of the letters where the dark brown spray paint bled through.

Once I find a good place to hang this, I'll upload a picture of it hanging on the wall. All in all we had a pretty productive craft day with some really great outcomes!
