I have a wooden "L" that I bought at Michaels about 6 years ago. It was past time to update (see picture below) and this week our challenge at Frosted Designs is to use fabric in your project.
I originally covered the "L" with scrapbook paper and painted the sides green. I scraped off the paper and started over.
I found this butterfly canvas scrapbook "paper" at Michaels in the open stock scrapbook paper section. I love butterflies and loved how subtle the colors were on this canvas.
I painted the sides of the "L" orange. When the paint dried, I traced the "L" on the back of my canvas.
I used my Glossy Accents to adhere the canvas to my letter.
I used Stickles to enhance the colors on the butterflies and catepillars.
It is so hard to capture the sparkle in a photo!!
I took some denim and tied a knot and dangled some metal charms on my letter.
Instead of hiding the outdated "L" on a shelf, it now sits on a shelf right above my laptop in my craft room!
Be sure to join us this week at Frosted Designs with your fabric project this week!!
