I’m over here working on more projects for baby girl! I hope you don’t mind all the pink I’ve been posting lately. And remember that projects like this can easily be translated into boy themes. I mentioned earlier this week that I recently purchased the Daisy Garden Nursery Bedding from Pottery Barn Kids. I have been searching for some nice wall art to match. But everything I found online wasn’t quite right and it was too expensive. So I set out to make my own.
I purchased 11×14 canvas frames from Michaels craft store along with a variety of scrapbook papers in different colors.
Then I started cutting. I had an idea of what I wanted (daisy flowers, bird house, bee, etc). So I used google images to find templates and images that I could trace or use as inspiration. I also used my 2 inch round punch, a hole punch, and paper cutter to create perfect circles and straight lines. I completely took over the dinning room table for 2 days working on this!
You will want to lay out your picture before you start mod podging to make sure it is exactly how you want it. Then you mod podge everything down starting with the bottom piece.
I learned a couple lessons about mod podge the hard way…
First, you don’t want to put too much mod podge on. Just enough for the paper to stick. The paper fibers quickly absorb the mod podge glue and if you put too much on you will over saturate the paper and it will become wrinkly and full of air bubbles.
Secondly, you need to let each layer dry for at least 15-20 minutes before mod podging on top of it. If you don’t wait and start mod podging layers of glue and paper on top of each other, you will get the same bubbling and wrinkling effect of the over saturated paper.
See what happened when I didn’t wait for the glue to dry… I had to trash this one and start over 🙁
I put one last thin coat of mode podge over the top. You may see a little bit of bubbling of the paper at this point, but be patient, all of the bubbles went away when the mod podge completely dried.
I love that I now have handmade art that is just to my liking for a lot less than what I would have paid in the stores. I will show you a picture of them hanging in her room when I get everything set up!

Your wall art is adorable! I found 12×12 canvases on sale at Walmart for $5 each today. I'm thinking I might have to buy a couple more and do something like this for my boys. 🙂
These are awesome, Sarah!
Those are so cute! I think Mod Podge might be the greatest thing ever.

You must constantly use the best management practices that provide a quality result. And this applies to everything – both writing code and their translation. People don’t always do their job well. But there is no doubt about the machine algorithm. Taking into account the fact that the site https://vidby.com/ also offers to control the translation made before overlaying voice acting on your video with a new language, its quality will reach the maximum level.
