(Photo by Sadie - She's gettin' as snap happy as her mama!)
Materials:
Canvas
Paint/brushes
Elmer's Glue
Rhinestones
Step 1: Paint the canvas:
We were pretty sure we wanted this one to be yellow.
Step 2: Draw out your letter
I just free-handed it and erased when I screwed up (one of the millions of awesome things about acrylic paint...it lets you erase!)
Step 3: Bling it up!
Paint on two inches of Elmer's glue at a time, and then adhere stones:
Sadie did most of the blinging all by herself :)
Step 4: Re-paint the canvas because yellow isn't the right color:
And that's it!
Sadie's bling-tastic "S" is now hung proudly in her play area. I think you could do this with anything...it doesn't have to be a rhinestone letter. Maybe buttons, feathers, fabric scraps, scrapbook paper?
Go forth and bling something.
Kendra, I think the last line should become your new catch phrase(:
ReplyDeleteI love you and miss you SO much!
LOL - You're right...I think I'm going to start using it as a tag line ;) Love and miss you too, my friend!
ReplyDeleteshe's SO talented, just like her mommy :) and i agree, i like the greenish-aqua color much better than yellow! haha LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteAfter scrolling over various of your posts and of course reading them! I went to shop for canvas in my lunch-break. As they go by 3 I will ahve to make the other 2 for my nieces. Just need to decide on which color paint to use, find the correct glue and of course a whole bunch of rhinestones!
ReplyDeleteFrancisca, I'd love to see photos when you're done with them!!
