Got 5 Minutes?

Sometimes I forget that a project doesn't have to be difficult, complicated, or time-consuming for it to make an impact in a room. Today, I did 2 small projects. Each of them took less than {5} minutes. Yes, really!

I had a 12x12 print of the tiny people, and I picked up a 12x12 canvas from Hobby Lobby to use as a mount.

I applied a coat of ModPodge on the canvas, and another coat on top of the picture. Make sure, if you try this, that you've had your photo printed on Lustre or Matte photo paper ~ not glossy.

I just waited for it to dry & hung it. Honestly, waiting for it to dry was the most time-consuming part of the whole she-bang.

Well....the ModPodge was already out, sooooo... I had picked up some {Chipboard} letters (they're on sale for 99cents at Hobby Lobby right now!) and I had almost a full page of pretty scrapbooking paper that coordinates with my craftroom. First, I traced the outside of the letter, angling my pencil so that the line was far enough outside the letter to allow the paper to fold over the sides.

Since the letter I was using is bendy, I cut into the excess paper all the way around the letter so that I could fold it over the edge bit by bit as I went around & avoid it bunching up & getting funky.

Next, of course, is the ModPodge. Again, I did a coat on the letter, and another coat on top of the paper.

I used some putty to attach it to the wall next to my desk ~ heck, it's chipboard...it's lightweight and it's not going to hurt anything if it does fall...which I don't think it will.

Two projects. {10} minutes (well...unless you count the drying time...which I don't b/c I used that time to do other things...like take a nap). And it adds a little extra color & fun to the room. I'm happy with that!
