DIY Word Art

Pinterest is a fabulous source for DIY ideas-

One that caught my eye 

was this artwork
 made with stickers and wood-

So, I started with a blank canvas and stickers

I decided to paint the canvas first 

so the words would be green-

This is my newest paint palette idea-

 much better than a paper plate!

Once dry, place the stickers on the canvas
spacing them to your liking-

Once all the stickers are on, 

choose a complementary color as the 2nd layer-

I also made a heart sticker out of contact paper,

 to use in place of a word-

After painting the blue, I began adding 

bits of a deeper blue and

 some white paint for depth-

Wait about 15-20 min ( not much longer) 

and begin removing stickers- 

tweezers are a great tool for the removal-

 even toothpicks but take care
 not to puncture canvas-

You can call it done-

 But, since this was a gift, I wanted to finish it off

 so I glued a matching ribbon to the edges 

and also attached a rope for hanging- 

Now, it's finished! An adorable and easy craft,

 made with love!

Dollar Store Craft

Do you love the Dollar Store?

Who doesn't love a bargain!

I spotted these cute pink plastic buckets-

some "mod" flower power stickers-

 And a roll of floral contact paper

Took out my cool Cricut cutting machine and

went to town-

But, instead of card stock- the contact paper

worked like a charm!

So simple and so cheap = LOVE !!

This would make an adorable Easter bucket for

a little bunny!

Two cutie pie buckets for

two cutie pie nieces!!

Take care, gotta fly-

So, I've been on the hunt for wood-

any size, shape and thickness-

you know when you get an idea in your head and it gets stuck there-

well, that's where I am! lol!!

I've found old signs, hunks of wood, small throw aways, etc....

This was one of the pieces- $.49 cents worth-

 I painted it up with some Krylon Heirloom white-

cut strips of my bff burlap and ruffled it along the back-

stapled it every couple inches

This is what it looks like from the front-

I jazzed it up with 2 rosettes of burlap

and some stickers-

Simple textures

simple sayings

simply super!

Take care, Gotta fly-Claire
