I'm putting together a house warming gift and needed something for the kids...so I decided to make something they could hang on their doors!
Here are the supplies I used:
Canvas, paper, chipboard letters, wood cut out of a race car and butterfly, Mod Podge, glue, acrylic paint and the usual tools:
First I covered the the letters with paper - while that was drying I covered the canvas with paper. I did both with Mod Podge.
After everything was dry I used my exacto knife to cut out the letter. The I glued the letter to the canvas and the wood cut out to the letter. The butterfly wasn't the right colors so I just used acrylic paint to change it up a little bit. For the G I used a little sandpaper to rough it up a little bit (it is for a little boy after all) and I didn't have the right color of brown paper so I painted the canvas.
Really easy and super cute!!
