K had a plan for her craft, so she found some post it notes that were shaped like letters and stuck them to two different styrofoam pictures. She then painted one solid color over them, like this:
After letting the paint dry a little, she pulled the post-it's off, and voila! Two nice little prints of a song she loves, ready to hang in her apartment, all for less than $10!
The peachy colored print had a bit of a marbley effect, as it has some Monet flowers underneath. I really like the gray print!
Anyway, here was K, being all creative and productive, and all I managed to produce for my craft was this little plastic container for N.
I cut a hole in the lid, wrapped duct tape around the edge of the hole so there wouldn't be any sharp plastic edges, and showed him how to stuff pompoms into the container through the hole. Not exactly creative, OR brain surgery, but N thought it was the coolest thing since his afternoon snack, so I count myself a winner!
Back to the crafty stuff, though, I picked up a neat square frame that was very nicely showing off the most hideous, filthy sheet of brocadey fabric that I thought I could repurpose. I popped the plate out that the fabric was glued to, ripped the fabric off, and flipped the plate around so I can paint and hang it. I haven't quite nailed down what I want to paint yet, so I saved that project for tomorrow!
N loves it when K comes to visit! He gets so spoiled!
What should I do with my snazzy "new" wall hanging? Should I paint a pattern, or a picture, or print something on it?
I've also got a trifold dressing screen that I rescued a couple summers ago that was falling apart. I used some filler in a few cracks, but haven't done anything further with it. It's possible that I could coordinate the screen with the wall hanging!
