Susie Harris: Inspiration...pass it on! *** Because someone asked..yes! I have one in my Etsy if you would like...smiles~*** Oh have I got a good one for you today {I hope}. What I want most out of this blog is to connect with you girls. My prayer is that you leave every post with a giggle,touched heart,new found friendship or INSPIRATION! And girls...do I have some for you! I first started with some good ole' inspiration. Now I know some of you worry about getting it just perfect,letters and all... I used a thin piece of board for mine because I didn't want to hang anything too heavy. I painted it an ivory color. Paint your circles in black. For those of you that are like me and need some extra help....print your font on paper and use as a guide. You can use trace paper or I tend to just trace over the font and use a little bit of pressure. You are now ready to paint in your letters. Now for those neat little accent lines around your letters..I used a lid from a thermos.

Plus - it also costs next to nothing.All you need to make it is A4 size paper, glue and staples. First of all you need to cut 6 sheets of A4 paper into square 21x21cm.Fold over the square into a triangle and cut 3 lines with your scissors, each about 1 - 1,5 cm wide, paralllel to the short side of the triangle. The cuts should not meet at the end; there needs to be an (imaginary) 1 - 1,5 cm wide strip going down from the point of the triangle to the long side. Look at this pic: When you fold open, the piece of paper should look like this: Now you bend the cut-out strips over and glue the tips together. The last step is fastening 6 of these individual pieces together. Looks gorgeous in the window!

Lightly press it down making sure it's smooth and not wrinkled Leave to air dry for at least 15 minutes and then if you wish give it a blast with the heat tool Only move onto this step when you are sure your paint is completely dryTake your water filled spritzer bottle, spray the back of the paper no more than two squirts, you don't want it too wet Next start to rub the paper very gently with your finger Keep rubbing and extra spritzing if you need too Eventually you will get rid of all the paper, but it does take a bit of patience as you have to be careful not to wet it too much and rub the image away.
