I bought some blank MDF boards that were 70% off that I thought I could decorate with scrapbook paper and maybe paint.
I don't have very many 4th of July decorations so here is what I did to the first board I bought:
It was super easy! I painted the whole board with red acrylic paint. Let it dry completely. Then I sanded the edges everywhere.
Next, I cut out the letters using my Cricut and Lyrical Letters cartridge. I also found the stars and fireworks on one of my cartridges.
Lastly, I coated the whole thing with Mod Podge! I am very happy with the way it turned out.
What an easy and quick 4th of July decoration! It cost me about $1.50!
What kind of 4th of July crafts are you working on??
P.S. I am still looking for some guest bloggers. I have a few spaces open, so if you are interested, please see previous post! I would love to see what you've got:)

ReplyDeleteSo cute! I really want a Cricut. We recently moved and I haven't found a job yet, so as motivation, I am not letting myself buy one until I have a job. I am going to be getting one before summer is out! I know it!
ReplyDeleteSoooo cute Karen!! I love it. :) Thanks for linking up to Think Pink Sundays! I shared this on my FB page!
ReplyDeleteThis is really cute. Do you think if I asked really, really nicely my sister would let me borrow her Cricut to make this? Thanks for sharing!
