DIY Nursery Project

Perfect study break relaxation technique?? Nursery crafting!!!
Ok, after a long study session at Barnes N' Noble, sipping my favorite-- salted caramel hot chocolate-- and reading up on various Marriage and Family Theories... I decided I needed a break.

What better way to do that than to head to Michael's Craft Store? Lucky me, it happened to be a Michael's Dollar Deal Day! I got 5 pieces of scrapbook paper, originally 59 cents for 20 cents each, 2 sponge brushes, originally a dollar for 7 cents each, and 3 white wooden letters usually 4 dollars each for 3 dollars each. So, that leaves me with a grand total of $10.14 + tax. The only other supply I used to complete this project was Mod Podge which I had left over from my DIY socket covers.

So, here is how the project went:

Supplies

My new BFF craft supply- Mod Podge

Cut out pieces of various colored scrapbook paper and arranged them on the letters
I recommend taking a picture of it when you have it all laid out, so you remember where to mod podge the pieces.

Once you have it arranged as you would like, start mod podging the paper to the letter .  Then seal it with 2 coats of mod podge on the top. 

VOILA!  Unique nursery letters!


They have plain wooden letter at Babies R' Us for 6.99 + tax each and they are not anywhere near as cute!  

Babies R' Us letters

So, these DIY letters were a good deal -- not to mention super cute and super fun to make!
When the nursery is complete, I will post a picture of them hanging on my nursery wall!  (Did you notice some of the design matches the DIY socket covers I made?-- it's all about the details, people! LOL)

Alright, back to the books... BLAH!
Have a blessed day~
