I've confessed before that I'm not real crafty, but more of a Diy kinda gal. Well, I have to say lately I've been gettin' my craft on since decorating with craft supplies is fun, easy and affordable...love that!
I've been wanting to create personalized wall art for my daughter's bedroom for quite some time now. The problem was I didn't have an exact idea of what I wanted to do. Well, all it took was a trip to Michael's Crafts to get inspired.
Here's what I found: Craft paper for less than $1.00, pink glittered up letters for $4.99, scrapbook sticker's $1.99. Yup, this project will be well under $10 since the frame and the ribbon, I already have.
Here are the pink letter's I started with. Frankly, I thought they were too glittered up, and there were areas where the paint was chipped...we can't have that!
So I gave them a coat of paint in the same bright pink color, then blotted off the excess to show just the right amount of glitter. (although it doesn't show well in the photo)
Then I assembled everything using tacky glue. And the ribbon I used to cover where the craft paper overlaps...and cuz it's cute!
And here it is finished! This project was fun, easy and super thrifty...all the things I love about crafty decorating! And the look on kid #2's face when she sees it...priceless!

Looks wonderful! I don't dabble too much in papercrafts (where would I store it??? Yikes!), but every now and then I do up a poster for my daughter for her dance shows. Such fun and thrifty most of the time. Love the colors you used...so sassy!
