Hello beauties,
It was recently my Niece's 3rd birthday. Lately she is really into getting photos and cards in the mail. So in addition to sending her some I decided to make her a place where she could display them and keep them, along with any art she made.
To make this project I designed it in my Silhouette Studio, as you can tell I went for option #3.
I used a scrap of plywood I had lying around. I stained it lightly with the good-olde vinegar and steel wool trick to give it some vintage feel. I cut the vinyl out with my Silhouette Cameo e-cutter and stuck it to the plywood.
I also cut out my "handmade" stencil that I designed and painted over that so they would know that I made it.
I painted over the Stencils with Dulux indoor paint (indoor or outdoor paint both work it doesn't matter which you use)
I let it dry and added another coat.
Once it was dry I pealed off the vinyl stencil and nailed cotton string into the sides. I added a few cloths pins for hanging.
The finished project looks great! What do you think?
After note: After I gave it to her I realized that she would have preferred option #1. So apparently Auntie Jill (me) should have made the one with Audrie's name on it as she is 3 and 3 year-olds like their names. Oh well, now I get to make another project with her name on it.
Thanks for stopping by,
Stay creative my darlings,
-Jill
