Michelle J. said...

I would also want to create Christmas shirts for my kids!




I am sending Michelle an e-mail.  Thanks so much to all who entered!


Hasn't this month been a total blast so far?  I can't believe what talent these ladies have!  Thanks to all who have participated so far in the MONSTER CRAFT BASH.  If you have missed some of the posts, feel free to scroll down to the bottom of the page on the right and click on any of the posts!  It will be worth it to see all the talent that's been going on here!  

I have been dying to show you something.  I made this the other day and I am loving how it turned out!

Here's what you need to make this:
- cut a 2 x 12 board into 8" pieces.  
-Martha Stewart Metallic Glaze (I used Black Coffee, or you could just use black paint!
-Scrapbook paper
-chipboard letters or cut out cardstock letters
-Halloween accent paper pieces
-Mod Podge

Ok, so I didn't take pictures of each step, because this was SO easy!
This was the only picture I took!  This is what the Metallic Glaze looks like:)

Here are the steps:
1.  Paint the board with Metallic glaze or black paint
2.  Cut scrapbook paper to size, then adhere with Mod Podge.  Let dry completely!
3. Attach chipboard letters or cardstock letters and let dry.
4.  Apply Halloween Accents.  
5. I sanded around the edges for the worn look.

EASY PEASY, huh?  I love quick easy projects...don't you?

Hope your having a great weekend!  Stop by tomorrow for a the Expressions Vinyl Giveaway Winner, a FANTASTIC guest post, and another GIVEAWAY!!  
  Hope to see ya soon!
