With Valentines Day coming near, I felt the need to make something for my house. So I got in touch with some of my super crafty friends, and invited myself over for a craft day! We decided to make an inspired Pinterest craft. Everyone brought over their paint, and brushes. My friend Megan bought the wood, and cut it down into four pieces, which made it super cheap. Then we just started sanding, and painting. It was really fun!
So get your friends together and have a fun crafting party. Here is what you need to do:
1) Invite people
2) Figure out all the materials you need and divide it out.
3) Set a time, and a date.
4) Make some yummy treats, or a simple craft for the kids to do while you craft.
5) Do it! You won't be sorry, and then you will have lots of fun things for your house DIY.
Here is how we did our craft!
Start by sanding down your wood.
Here is Megan and I sanding. (and I came straight from the gym fyi)
Pick your color to paint the wood.
Red is going to be the color of the word. Color preference is up to you!
Start painting. You can see the kids in the background snacking.
Here are the different colors we chose.
Now let the paint dry.
While the paint was drying we had the kids make some yummy sugar cookies!
Make some plain sugar cookies the night before, and just buy some frosting and sprinkles.
This will keep the kids busy for like.. 5 minutes! lol
After it is dry, then transfer the word onto the wood.
Don't worry about the color, because you take it off after you paint over it.
Now you paint the wood again. I chose white paint.
Once the paint is a little dry you peel off the letters.
Here is how our boards turned out!
Bethany did her word at the bottom, which turned out really cute too!
Once it dries, you sand it again, to give it a distressed look.
Here is Bethany's cute sign!
Here is Megan's cute sign!
Here is how mine turned out!!
I am not much of a crafter, but it is so much fun to do a craft with friends. We are already planning our next craft date!
