Grandparents Day 9/11

  

I hope everyone remembered Grandparents Day on September 11th.  To celebrate and thank our parents (the girls' grandparents) we made them each something different and unfortunately I totally spaced taking a picture of my kids with my mother-in-law and a picture of her gift.  UGH!!!  We gave my mother-in-law a mouse pad with a collage of pictures of the girls that I created on Snapfish. And then for my parents I got THIS really great idea off of Pinterest.

Supplies needed:

• Scrapbook paper
• Scissors
• Clothes Pins
• Sticky Dots
• Cricut/vinyl letters/sticker letters (I used my cricut and wish I had used a different font)
• Glue Gun
• Wire
• Bling (I just used 2 buttons)
• A board
• Modpodge
• Foam Brush

Steps

1. Cut the board to your desired size.
2. Cut your scrapbook paper the same size as the board.
3. Paint on modpodge onto the board.
4. Stick your scrapbook paper on top of the board.
5. Create your letters.
6. Stick them on with modpodge.
7. Once your letters are stuck on the board, then paint modpodge over the top of the letters and the scrapbook paper. (I let it dry and then did 3 more coats, be sure to let it dry between each coat)
8. Cut scrapbook paper to cover your clothes pins.
9. Modpodge the paper to your clothes pins.
10. Glue your clothes pins to your board with a hot glue gun.
11. Then stick on your bling. (I used modpodge to make my buttons stick)
12. Then drill two holes at the top for your wire to go through.
13. Feed wire through to create the "hanger".

My parents loved their gift. It was super easy and fun!
