Diy Gilded Missive Of The Alphabet Print

Happy Midweek everybody!  I'm locking myself inwards the solid today as well as getting some chores done that accept been SO neglected...piles of laundry (all clean, merely require to live on folded as well as lay away), shuffling tables, putting away stains as well as poly as well as supplies, as well as getting my kitchen nether control.  Does everything merely about your solid become crazy when you're inwards projection vogue too?  Thank goodness my sugariness solid unit of measurement doesn't bat an eye.

But first, I accept a quick, fun arts and crafts projection to portion amongst you.  If you've spent whatever fourth dimension inwards blogland at all, you lot know that aureate foil prints are all the rage.  Stephanie Creekmur makes some peculiarly fun ones.  I intend nosotros all barbarous for her "Hey Y'all!" print when Kristin showcased it as well as hence beautifully inwards her Room Service Atlanta project.  I wanted to guild one, but had a specific frame that I wanted it for, as well as it was an strange size.  I also didn't desire to purpose glass, as well as hence I needed something heavier for the frame.

I already had all of the supplies, as well as hence I got out some flake white mat board as well as cutting it to size.  After playing amongst a few fonts on the computer, I printed out the words I wanted, sized to tally the frame. Apparently I had a random flake slice of paper inwards the printer...but it didn't matter.  (If you lot desire to download those cute gift tags, click here.) 

Then, I used this super tip from Makely and some paper to transfer an outline of the words to the mat board.

Finally, I used Krylon's aureate foliage pen to fill upward inwards my letters.  I constitute that long straightaway strokes worked best.

After mounting the mat board amongst some trusty glazier points, it was create to go!  

Not every bit pretty every bit the original, but it works, as well as fits merely correct inwards my fun frame.  

You mightiness hollo upward that I picked this upward from the same identify I bought my new nightstands piece going on a Craiglist run.  We intend perchance it used to accept a clock appear upward inwards it, it's non actually a typical photograph frame.  And, every bit difficult every bit I've tried to weed out the ruby-red from my decor over the by few years, this guy was begging for a glossy ruby-red pigment job. 

I added it to my chalkboard wall inwards the kitchen, as well as am working to add together a few to a greater extent than things to brand that piddling infinite business office better.  Hope to present you lot to a greater extent than soon!

This was a actually fun project, as well as I've already got my oculus on my oval antique aureate frame for some other DIY print.

If you lot dear the master as well as desire to buy a impress create made, view Stephanie's store.  I peculiarly dear this print...my dad used to country it all the time.
