A Mod Podge Day:)

Whoop!  Whoop!!  It's Thursday and it only means two things: 1. My fav shows are on tonight and 2. It's almost FRIDAY:)  I'm digging that it's almost Friday because it's the weekend and it means let The Hunger Games begin!!!  So completely excited for it:):)

I have been trying to find some lovely decorations or at least inspiration for crafts that we can display in our basement.  I thought it would be a neat idea to include our last intail "J" in our decor.  I wanted to personalize it to our color scheme that we'll have in the basement.  So, I ran over to Hobby Lobby, and bought a cardboard "J", and some scrapbook paper to cover it with.  This is what I came up with!

Teal, Gray, and Purple:)

This project was pretty easy to whip together and didn't take too much time!  I think it took me more time with trying to figure out what to add to the "J" than anything else!

My materials for covering the "J"

 First, I traced the "J" and cut that out.  I was worried about the teal scrapbook paper because of the thread that was in it.  I thought it might just unravel once I cut it, but it didn't:)  Then I measured the width of the "J" and cut out strips of that from my purple scrapbook paper.  Next, I found my, good and trusty, Mod Podge the glossy kind.  I heart Mod Podge! I applied it to the "J" and let it dry for a good 2 hours. Definitely let it set for a while to dry!

After the Mod Podge

 Then I took my purple scrapbook paper and folded it accordion style, but at a slant, so it would make a flower.  My black flower with the pearl in the middle was laying around, so I decided it would make the purple pop if I put it in the middle.  There was some left over gray material that I used at the top. and put the flower in the middle.  Ta-daa, you have a fun little "J":):):)

~Cute~

Now, I just don't know what I'm going to do with all of my crafting and decorative items that I'm buying.  The basement isn't ready yet, so I can't display it, but I can't wait until I can:)

It's been a while since I made a craft!  I was having withdraws, I think;)  Have any of you been working on some neat crafts?

Thanks for stopping by:)

Until next time!!!!
