I used this as a prop during my maternity shoot. I think it turned out super cute!! I'm going to hang it on the outside of his door when I'm done with it:)
Here is how I made it:
The four squares are mini canvas' I found them at Crafty Things on Kadena (but i'm sure Michaels/ACMoore/Hobby Lobby have them as well). They are about 2X2 inches.
First, I painted them white. Yes, I know they were already white but not white enough if you know what I mean:)
Then I found a font that I liked online and printed the letters JACK out on regular computer paper I had to do this twice because I messed up the sizes, it takes a little guess and test sometimes.
I cut the letters out and transferred/traced them onto contact paper (sticky back) and cut them out.
I stuck them to the canvas' and then painted over the contact paper with the blue. I let it dry for a few minutes (maybe 5) I didn't want the stickers to get stuck onto the canvas.
I peeled the stickers off and did a few touch ups and there you have it.
I measured the outside of the canvas and cut little pieces of scrapbooking paper to fit. I used Mod Podge to make it stick.
Then after all of that was dry I cut a sponge and did the black around he outside to give it the "aged" look.Then put some more mod Podge to seal everything.
I then glued the ribbon on the back and cut it at the bottom of the K to make it even with the canvas.
I think it turned out really nice and once again was super simple to make:)))
Let me know what you think!!
