Holiday Project #1 - Wire Picture Holders
As I mentioned in my post last night, I have decided between now and Christmas to post nothing but holiday decorating, craft and gift ideas. My goal is to make these projects simple, quick and inexpensive....something I think we all want during the busy holidays. So here's my first easy holiday project that could be adapted for year round use. We've all seen these picture holders at various stores (you can see I got this one at Goodwill): I have purchased these and cut off the picture holder part to use in several different projects.The Technique Zone: Acrylic Paint Transfer
Supplies needed: Acrylic dabbers, photocopy of an image, water spritzer bottle, paintbrush, card stock, craft sheet and heat tool (optional) Take the lid off the dabbers and brush the paint onto the card stock, ensure you get a good coverage Take your photocopied image ( remember that you will get a reverse of the image, so don't use bold words), flip it over and place it in the acrylic. 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
the photo-to-wood transfer | whollykao
This Christmas, I made most of my gifts. The majority of the handmade items were photos transferred onto blocks of wood. It was something memorable to give family (especially for parents, who never seem to need anything!). Everyone seemed to really like them.
I found these magnets on Photojojo a few weeks ago, and thought, “ These are cool. I can totally make ‘em .” So, that’s exactly what I did.
