Coming up with creative and inexpensive ways to decorate my mantel has been somewhat challenging. However, I did find a project that I can use over and over for each holiday and season! I bought a $5 frame 5x7 at Micheal's and decided to make my own "art" to go in it. I can change it whenever I want and the "art" can be stored for use next season!
I used my Cricut Craft Room Exclusive cartridge Classroom-Feb. & March to cut the phrase. It was three cuts total (for the three different layers).
I cut this phrase at the 2 inch setting. This is just at 7 inches long.
After all the cuts were done, I ran it through my 2.5 inch sticker maker,
I then layered up the phrase appropriately. I then marked off the center of my background. I had already cut some patterned paper into the 5x7 size for the frame. After I found the centers, I placed the phrase on the background.
I placed the "art" work in the frame! Now, it's ready for the mantel!
I have a couple of other ideas to fill up the mantel with fun stuff! I will you keep you posted as they come together!
~Happy Decorating!
