Hi Guys!
Are you all getting ready for school to start? I haven’t EVER decorated for “back to school!” August is always the month that my house was decor-less. What? I know!
I hope I’m not the only one! So this is what I came up with!
What do you think?
How fun is this?
I wanted something that was simple yet cute, this is what you need:
– Piece of college ruled paper
-Printer
-I used the font “Love ya like a sister”
-Type out the letters and then
– 5X7 frame
-Barn red paint
-Sandpaper
-Optional: Gloss spray for the frame.
I typed it all up how I wanted it to look. Then I tried to think of some fun words that would use a letter in every line so that I could highlight those ones red. All I could thinks of was my last name: GILES. That I liked anyway At the bottom of the page I did have in smaller words:”What can you spell?”
It didn’t fit and I got lazy I didn’t want to go and resize everthing, so I just cut it off when I put it in the frame.
I painted the frame with just one coat of the paint, sanded it, and sprayed a coat of the Gloss spray on the frame and WALAH! All done!
See told ya, super easy!
The best part is the total cost for this was a whopping $.75 centeroos. I got the frame at a thrift store {loves the chunky-ness}the rest I had already!
Because I love you all…here’s a free printable The Alphabet!
I didn’t think you all would want my last name so it isn’t highlighted, it’s just plain ole black..
but still cute. Take it if you want it!
Have a super day!
