Today on the blog is a bit different then normal, a little DIY project! This is something that many of you might not know about me but I love crafting and doing DIY projects. In fact my whole house is filled with them and I simply love it! Up until just a little bit ago though I had never thought that I could mix that in with my photography blog! It’s something I love and I am sure many of you out there do as well so why not?! Come on and enjoy this little DIY project!
Things to gather:
-Scrabble tiles (you can purchase them in bulk for very cheap on amazon!)
-Hot Glue Gun
-Cork board
-Scissors or an X-acto knife
-Mod Podge Glue
Let’s get to Crafting!
First thing to do is to think up some good 4 letter words that go well together! This might be pretty hard but I have done the work already so I will give you what I used. Note since I am a photographer I did use some photography related words as well!
Photography related 4-letter words: shot, crop, edit, blog, snap, zoom, lens
Home related 4-letter words: cozy, home, warm, fire, love, hugs, kiss, safe, hold, hope, grow, pray, cafe, brew, java, foam, iced, chai, teas, mugs.
Next glue the letters in a row on the cork board! I used a glue gun but you can also use super glue! Remember to keep the letters as straight as possible!!
Once you have finished all four rows allow for some time for the letters to dry and then go ahead and cut them out!
The last and final task is to spray on some sort of sealer! I used Mod Podge clear spray but you can also use polyurethane spray! I also did about 3 coats!
You’re done! Now wasn’t that easy?! Keep repeating the process until you have finished the amount of coasters that you want! I did 6! 4 for our living room and two photography ones for in my office!! Have fun! Let me know how yours turned out! I would love to hear!
And what would a blog post be without my cute little Willow! She sits there all day long when I am in my office looking cute as usual! 🙂
