Friday Favs…a vintage looking Christmas craft

Let’s just be honest.

I’m a grade school level crafter.

If it’s complicated and takes a long time, forget it.

If it’s easy enough for a third grader, I’m lovin’ it!

Here’s an easy craft that I enjoyed doing and I’m lovin’ the results.

Step One: buy an old hymnal or some sheet music at the thrift store or download some music

and cut out your desired shapes

Step two: to “vintage-ize” the paper set it in some leftover coffee for twenty minutes or so.

To dry it put it on a cookie sheet in a very low oven, (about 110 degrees), for another twenty minutes or so.

Step three: Write your word or letter on your shape in permanent marker,

(this can actually be done before step two or after, whichever you prefer)

Step four: Cut out the same shapes in cardstock or thin cardboard

Step Five: Glue paper shapes to cardboard shapes

Step Six: Brush about 1/4 inch strip of Elmer’s glue around edge of shape and add glitter

Last step: to hang, add a loop of twine or ribbon to the back with a hot glue gun.

Easy, but cute!

 

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE and HAVE A BLESSED WEEKEND!
