Easy Clipboard Makeover {tutorial}

Good morning! It’s time for another addition of Craft Lightning! If you’re new here, Craft Lightning is when a group of my favorite bloggers gets together & creates crafts you can do in 15 minutes or less all around a theme. This month the theme is decoupage. Yay! One of my favorite things to work with. ;) I used a little bit of Mod Podge in this fun Clipboard Makeover. Let’s me show you! :)

DIY Wooden Arrows {tutorial}

This post is brought to you by ProFlowers.

Hello! Hello! It feels like I had a huge break from blogging! We had an amazing weekend. My oldest son graduated from high school, my parents were in town & we had a blast spending some time together UNPLUGGED! It was nice to have a little break! Now I’m back at it! ha! This year I am helping out with Girl’s Camp crafts (again!). This year we are simplifying a little bit & just offering two crafts. These DIY Wooden Arrows are one the easy crafts we are doing! I think the girls will enjoy making their own arrow & personalizing it to make it their own. I’m also sharing a fun project that ProFlowers has been working on, too. So keep reading for all the fun details!

tutorial {diy canvas prints}

Happy Monday! Soooooo how was your weekend???
I hope it was great & that you got lots accomplished! :)

Today I’m over at How to Nest for Less
helping Erin out with her fun Valentine’s series.
You can check out my {you & me} block tutorial here.
She has lots more planned this week
so make sure you keep checking in! :)

Today I'd love to show you how to make you own
canvas prints for much cheaper than ordering them!

(I shared these over on Keeping it Simple a week or two ago
buuut just incase you missed it thought I’d share it over here, too!)

You'll need:

8x10 print of your favorite photo

paint & foam brushes

mod podge (matte)

8X10 canvas

(I bought mine at Hobby Lobby on sale for a couple of dollars.)

To make your canvas:

I painted the edges of my canvas first

& then I painted about a 1 inch border on the front of my canvas.

After your paint dries, apply a layer of mod podge on your canvas.

Then lay down your picture.  I used a cloth to rub over the entire picture.

You don't want any bubbles & for your picture to be nice and flat. 

Photo paper is thick, so getting it to lay flat was no problem for me.  Yay!

Then I went over the top of my picture with another layer of mod podge. 

That gave it a brush stroked look.  Annnd don't worry...it dries clear. :)

Here are my finished canvas prints!  Love them!  So easy to do, too!  Yay!
