Here are a few of my projects, that I have taken on during the girls' nap time. They are mostly inspired by Pinterest. What did we do before Pinterest? :) .
Project #1: Scrapbook Letters
Materials: Wooden letters from JoAnn's, Paint, Foam Brush, Scrapbook paper, & Mod Podge.
First I painted the sides of the letters that were going to show with three coats of paint.
Then I traced the letters on the the scrapbook paper and cut them out, trimming as necessary. I applied a thin coat of Mod Podge to hold them in place. When they were dry, I added another layer on the top and let dry.
Here's how they turned out! Maria loved waking up and seeing her name on display for her birthday!
Project #2: Menu Board
Materials: Frame, Scrapbook Paper, Clothes Pins, Stickers, Ribbon, Tape, & Laminated Cards of all your Meals (I made mine on a Word Doc, cut them, and had Office Max laminate them)
I can thank this blog for the great idea and wonderful directions!
Project #3: Magnetic ABC Board
Materials: Oil Drip Pan (Walmart $8), Rubber Cement, ABC Flashcards & Letter Magnets
I glued on the flashcards, leaving some space for all of the extra magnets. I'm going to attach it to the wall using 3M picture hanging strips. Both of the girls already love putting magnets on the board and it's not even hung yet! I can thank this blog post for the idea!
Now, to decide what project to tackle next! :)
