Crafty Cassie.

Here are a couple of crafts I recently made and the how to. I hope to be doing this more in the future because I just love doing this kind of thing. :)


Dry Erase Photo Frame

Materials:
-Picture frame
-Fabric of your choice
-Mod Podge
-Pack of dry erase markers
-Scissors








Cut the fabric to fit the shape of the backboard of the frame and use Mod Podge to glue it down in place. Put the backboard back in place, and you've got yourself a pretty frame/art piece and dry erase board all in one.



Really easy to make, really useful and cute. Use it for quick notes, reminders, lists, anything... and when the writing is wiped off, the frame makes for pretty decor.


French Silhouette

Materials:
-Canvas
-French books
(I used French to English dictionary and a random book written in French)
-Mod Podge
-Scissors
-Black paint
-Paint brush









Pull pages out of each book. Arrange the pages on the canvas first, without using the Mod Podge. Have edges of the pages sticking off of the canvas so you can fold them around to the back, giving the sides of your canvas the same book page background. When all is in place, ModPodge away. (Amazing stuff, isn't it?! :P) I put the Mod Podge on the back and front of the pages... not only does it glue everything down, but it will wrinkle the pages a little, giving the canvas a great texture. 





When the pages dry, paint the silhouette of whatever you'd like. I chose the Eiffel Tower to go along with the French page thing.

I gave this to Ashley to go along with her Paris themed bedroom. What do you think?
