Bead board Photo Display with i Love to Create Puffy Paint!

Hi friends!  Hope your week is going well!  Today I have something fun to share with you!

 

 Last week I was sent a package of i Love to Create puffy paint to do a craft project with.  

When I opened the box, my 10 yr. old was SUPER excited!  The paint is gorgeous and the colors were vibrant and NEON.  They were so fun to work with.

Here are the supplies I used:

-i Love to Create Puffy Paint (found at Walmart!)

-bead board

-magnetic board

-Martha Stewart Black Metal Metallic paint

-scrapbook paper

-Wooden spider (Michael's)

-Mod Podge

-super glue

1.  I picked out the paper I wanted to use to cover the metal board with. 

2. I painted the bead board with the Black Metal Metallic Paint. 

3.  I covered the metal board with the paper using Mod Podge. 

4. After that was dry, I glued the metal board to the bead board with Super Glue. 

5. I did the border on the bead board with the Puffy Paint.  I let that dry for several hours.

6. I painted the cute wooden spider black and made the eyes and outlines with the puffy paint.  I let that dry for about 2 hours.  I then glued the spider on the wood.

7.   I used some cute little Halloween magnets that I made a while back to hold the cute picture of my daughter! 

Done!  

I love how it turned out and I love it that my daughter did this with me and even gave me some cool ideas:)

I can't wait to display this project in my house this Fall!

XOXO Block {Tutorial}

 I am IN LOVE with this EASY block I made today!  I actually started it last weekend, but didn't get back to it for a few days.  

I almost feel silly giving you a tutorial on how to make it, but I am doing it anyway!

Supplies:

-a 3 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 7 inch piece of Wood

-{XOXO} thin piece of wood that I bought at Michaels.  Cost about $1.  {It already had the XOXO on it}

-Bakers Twine

-Paint {I used MS Habanero Red and Delta Ceramcoat Tropic Bay Blue}

-Little Heart DooDad {i got at Dollar Tree $1 for a pack of 6}

-Palm Sander or Sandpaper

First, I painted the block red.  Let it dry completely.  

I didn't take pictures of this step.  Next, I painted 2 coats of the Tropic Bay Blue.  Let it dry completely.

Next, sand the block around the edges and on what will be the front {I did the back too}.  Sand until the red shows through.  I LOVE this look!

Glue on the XOXO with a glue gun.  I cut the heart stick almost in half, then attached the heart with the bakers twine.  Walaaa!  DONE!  I put a dab of glue behind the heart, so it stays. 

See, Easy-huh?
