Well today was a little different than most days. With my job, I am off every other weekend and this was my weekend off. Well sometimes my wife ends up getting the same weekend off as I do (she works retail as well). So you know what that means, thats right. Spend the day with your wife weekend.
Well we had to go shopping
Those of you that keep up with my post, you already no that when we go out shopping, waited, let me re-pharse this, when she goes out shopping, everything she buys, I price it in silver, really gets under her skin. Well today was pay back day, she had the GREAT idea to do some fall DIY crafts. First let me start by saying this, I believe it is far cheaper to buy it, then to buy the stuff to make it. But she said we could spend all day together doing crafts. Then she slipped one in on me, she said "when we get done we can go by the coin shop and see what they have", well thats all it took for me, I was like lets get started. So lets see what we got.
Todays Haul
Now if you will look at this picture closely, you can see alot of STUFF, look at the back left corner, thats what I got, a can of Pringles and a bag of pork skins, hell I ended up having to share those 2 things. Anyways lets get this going, we gotta get to the silver.
PAINT THE PHOTO FRAMES
you will need 4 5x7 photo frames, dollar tree has for a dollar each, and one can of orange spray paint. Take them apart and only paint the frame.
FALL PAPER
you will need 4 12x12 sheets of fall paper. Cut the paper down to the 5x7 size.
PUT FALL PAPER IN THE FRAMES
After the frames have dried from being painted, you can insert the fall paper into the frames.
WOOD LETTERS
You will need some wood letters about 5 in tall, that will spell out FALL. These will need to be painted orange as well, you can use the left over orange spray paint from the frames.
HOT GLUE THE LETTERS TO THE FRAME
Once the letters dry, you can use a hot glue gun to attached them to the glass on your 5x7 frame.
