little decorating project
I've been rolling around in my head for a while about doing a little project like this. I had everything I needed in my stash: lots of paper scraps, a 10x20 canvas, letter/number stickers. Just punched the various papers with a square punch, adhered them with mod podge, then when that dried just took a little burnt ochre acrylic paint & mixed with the mod podge & brushed that over top of everything. I then added the various Ms & 5s {for Meierotto & the 5 of us}. I had the big M that I'd bought at Hobby Lobby a long time ago {each of the kids has their letter also}. They come in sort of a gilded gold, but I've spray painted the boys red & I sprayed this one ivory, then scuffed it with sandpaper. I love the way the little ensemble came together.... needed a refresher. Put it above one of our couches in the LR.
It all came together super easy & quick, I think it would be fun to make ones to fit various holidays/seasons, working with themed papers.... maybe with different sentiments on them to fit the theme. HMMM... maybe some christmas gifts for special people?
