This is the last day of re-posts, I promise. It’s what I did before I had a Cricut. It was a pain.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~June 3, 2009~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have been more and more crafty lately. (In a good way…) With Doctor’s orders to slow down, and dump some of the perfectionism/responsibility that I heap onto my own plate, taking the time to be creative has been therapeutic for me. And for our budget.
I needed a little something to go over the slider in our dining room. Here’s what $1.50 can get you.
3 white plates from the thrift shop (.50 cents each)
A favorite scripture (well, sort of a scripture) and the image of a couple birds, printed off of the internet, cut out with and X-acto knife and Mod Podged onto the plates. (Free. A great price.)
And yes, I know that pictures at night are bad… oh well. (If you strain your eyes, you can see the plates up there…) Pictures during the day were so back-lit that all you could see was the backyard.
$1.50 works for me.
Check out the bottom of the blog for buttons to some great link parties, and I also link up here:
Yeah, a knife & modge-podge? Nope.
But you would be so proud of me – I painted 8 wineglasses last night and they turned out really cute!!!

I never thought to try this! I wanted to put birds on a plate a few weeks ago but dreaded painting them on. Why did I not even think about vinyl?
I’ve got to try doing this!! 😀
Being without a crafty cutter myself, I have used the xacto knife method too.
You did an excellent cutting job, especially on the wording!
I’ve told you before, but I have to tell you again… I LOVE your blog!
Such a good idea!
