Typically, I'd encourage anyone to try a craft I've created, but not this time!
DON'T DO IT!
Unless you like like to torture yourself by being hunched over on the floor staring at tiny pieces of freezer paper for 10 hours...10. I'm so cross-eyed I can barely type!
Anyways...if in fact, you do want to tackle this project - here you go!
I started off with 2 of these 16x20" frames from Wally World.
Frames some white fabric and taped off some borders...
My poor Cricut was almost smoking after using it for so long. I used my Doodletype cartridge.
Everything was cut out of freezer paper and ironed on.
I recommend starting from the middle and taping with scotch tape each row so you can move it.
Then iron on the thousands of little inside pieces of the "a, e, d, o, p, g, and b" and paint :)
Thankfully, I do love it. I added a little strip of burlap-esque fabric to the bottom for texture.
...if you haven't figured it out, these are our wedding vows
I think they will eventually go over our bed.
Let me know if you tackle a similar project!
Have a great weekend!!

It's beautiful! You must have a lot of patience to iron on all the insides of those letters. I would have given up long before it was finished!
ReplyDeletewow. what an ambitious project. I think all the work was worth it. It turned out great!

Oh, that's a beautiful project. I understand why that would make you go cross-eyed, though! You have patience that I sorely lack! Great job!
ReplyDeleteHehe...what a schlepp when you find out after you've begun your project that it's going to be a more finicky and time consuming job than you anticipated!
ReplyDeleteIt did turn out great though. :)
