Homemade Holiday: Craft #2
as promised, i have another fun craft for a homemade holiday gift. i hit the craft store this weekend and got to work on a few things! here is one of them...
personalized cork board squares
i made this one with a teen in mind, but would be perfect for tweens, teens, and heck, adults too!
supplies are simple:
cork board squares, dark ones for more contrast
craft paint
stencil and brushes
the good thing about working with these squares...they have two sides, in case you mess up, and the paint wiped off very easily when needed!
the challenge...since the surface is pitty in some spots, you have to carefully plan your design. also i suggest using a somewhat simple, larger graphic stencil, comes out better than a smaller, more intricate one...trust me, i tried! and they came in a package of four, so she may even get two more, or they might for another tween!
here is the finished product! i like how it turned out! these are for a gal whose room is pink and brown. what a neat place to hang movie tickets, notes, photos, drawings, etc!

update on craft #1, the marble magnets: one word, okay, maybe two: hole punch! i am currently in search of the right size, and am sure it will make the task much easier! will post picks as soon as i finish a set!
and look for craft #3 in the next few days...working on it as we speak!
