But, boy, what fun! I've got 25 boards, which is absolutely ridiculous. This is so reflective of my life...
A friend had a "wonderful" (insert sarcastic sigh) idea to have a Pinterest party. We were partnered into teams of 2 & challenged to pick a craft project from Pinterest, buy enough supplies for everyone & meet up for a "Pinterest Party." Oh, and our theme was "Halloween."
Yep, Halloween in July. Whoda thunk it?
This was our inspiration - found @the "She Wears Flowers" blog (but I did see it on Pinterest. Honest, I did!)
When it came time to find the materials, we quickly decided our version would be a little different. Here is what we pulled together to use: 16x20 canvas (not shown), Mod Podge, newspaper cut and ripped into 4x4 squares, one 4x4 canvas for each project, Halloween ribbon, black vinyl, Halloween color paint (black, green, purple & orange), Cricut Halloween cartridges (October 31, Happy Hauntings and Blackletter)
First, we painted the canvas the background color of our choosing (I picked purple)
Mod Podging was a bit more tedius then we expected. It wasn't easy to get the thin newspaper to stay in place - we figured out we had to Mod Podge it into place, then Mod Podge over it. Sticky & gooey...
The Cricut cut-outs took forever, but we had a blast working on it!
Here we are, showing off our finished boards. Well, almost finished - we need to add our bows. Our bow expert had to rush home to a family dinner, but she promised to get them to us. Soon.
Is it Halloween yet?
Coming Up: the other 2 projects we worked on (sneak peek of one in the picture above).
