Craft Lightning is happening and the theme this month is Wood. Wood is my favorite material to work with. I usually like to do the cutting and designing, but today I’m using a wooden letter that I got from my local craft store.

Materials used:

Wooden Letter
Paint (I used Plaid’s FolkArt Color Shift in Yellow Flash)
Paint Brush
Felt (I use KuninFelt)
Hot Glue Gun and Hot Glue Stick
Scissors

How I decorated it:

I applied two coats of paint to the letter, allowing the first coat to dry before applying the second coat.

I cut the felt for my felt flowers. I just used a simple tutorial that I found online.

Then I put the flowers together using the hot glue gun.

I glued the flowers to the letter.

And then it was time to hang it up!!!! This particular letter had a hanging hole on the back but you could also hang it by using ribbon or jute rope!

This decorated flower decor took less than 15 minutes, excluding the drying time. This would be a super easy project for a kids party or a girls night in!

Until next time….

I feel so honored to have been chosen to participate in the Me and My Peeps Blog Hop! While a few sponsors helped support this blog hop, two ladies, my friend Laura Kelly and a fellow blogger Niki Meiners from 365 Days of Crafts were gracious enough to put this blog hop together.

So, a package arrived with lots of goodies…..a great selection of Me and My Peeps Decals, brightly colored ribbon and some buttons!!

Me and My Peeps Little Boy Frames

For my project, I made these awesome frames that were created for each of my boys!!

Materials used:

2 Me and My Peeps Little Boy Decals from Plaid Enterprises, available at A.C. Moore

Wooden frames, purchased at JoAnn’s Store

Wooden letters, purchased at JoAnn’s Store

Burlap

Laura Kelly Mix of Buttons from Buttons Galore & More

Blue Krylon paint

Hot Glue Gun and Glue

What I did:

1. I took the glass out of the frames and then spray painted the frames with Krylon spray paint. I also spray painted the wooden letters.

While doing my spray painting, I realized that I need a little more practice on spray painting! I got some bubbles in the paint. But oh well, I made it work!

2. I covered the letters with the awesome Laura Kelly Mix of buttons using hot glue.

3. I then transferred the Peep decal onto a blue piece of card stock that was very similar to the spray paint and then cut them out.

4. I cut some pieces of burlap and attached them to the frames with hot glue. I then attached the button covered letters and the Little Boy Peeps to the frames using hot glue!
