Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Category: Paper Crafts

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Retro / Vintage


Materials

paper mache letters,scrapbook paper, glue, ribbon

What was your inspiration?

When my daughter got a job teaching first grade, I purchased some vintage school items on ebay for her classroom and this idea seemed perfect because I was able to use some of the Dick and Jane book pages. I actually remember The Dick and Jane readers I used in first grade. Yes I am that old : (

What are you most proud of?

When she left school to go on maternity leave the letters came home and ended up in the new baby's nursery along with some framed Dick and Jane pages <3

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

This project couldn't be any easier! Tearing paper and decoupaging. I use a 50/50 white glue and water because it's cheaper.
