Today's victim:
Chunk heart city
My son loves that the middle of the hearts makes a star.
My first thought was to paint it...black. Which I did. Then I was going to Mod Podge some crazy colorful scrapbooking papers to the hearts. I have a lot of scrapbooking paper for just such a task. But you know what I really wanted? A bright yellow with a cloverleaf pattern. I did not have that. But I did have...
some radiator grill with a cloverleaf pattern
and crayons.
I ended up using crayon rubbings of items around my house. Talk about budget-friendly!
After I did the rubbings, I cut out heart shapes and Mod Podged them on. Here is the result, which I am quite pleased with!
The drama of black and color!
Love!

ReplyDeleteCome say hi sometime!
This totally rocks!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so fun. I do crayon rubbing at school with the kids but never thought of doing it at home!
ReplyDeleteThat came out totally cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I actually do a lot of crayon rubbings at home, they are just not part of the finished result. As in this case, it's really the easiest way to get the pattern of a shape you want to cover with paper but have no way of tracing.
