Getting Crafty

So since we're having a baby girl and she will have her own little corner in our bedroom, I thought she definitely needed a little bit of something to make it all her own. So I went to Michaels and picked up a wood letter, some paint, ribbon, and stencils. I made it harder than it needed to be because it took me a little bit to figure out the technique for making the dots just right. By the last couple of dots, I finally figured out the easiest way to do it and I really like how it turned out. I first painted the letter green and then painted the pink dots using a stencil. I sealed it will Modge Podge and then glued on the ribbon. It is hanging over the changing table. You'll have pictures soon of her area. Anyway, here's the finished project. In case you don't know, we're naming our baby girl, Jocelyn, hence the "J." And I love polka dots so that's the theme and the colors are green, pink, and purple to match the canvas drawers on the baby changing table.

  2. So cute. I made a little name for Ivy with letters from Michaels, but it totally didn't come out as cute as your "J." I'm super jealous. I should have mailed you my stuff and had you do it for me. I'll have to send you a picture.
