{CREATE THIS: photo inspired DIY challenge}
Mr. and Mrs. Wedding Banner:
- black paint
- craft paper, cardstock
- letter stencils
- scissors
- ruler
- ribbon
- plastic bag
- paper clips
1. Cut craft paper or cardstock into the size you want. I created 6 x 7 rectangles to correspond with the size of my stencils. I actually created my own stencils but you can purchase pre-cut stencils at any craft store.
2. Paperclip one of the letter stencils to your rectangle. Practice with centering the letter if the sizes aren't the same.
3. Pour out a small amount of black paint into some throw away container. (I used the top of a butter tub.) Make sure your table and clothes are protected.
4. Scrunch up a small section of the plastic bag, maybe 2 inches or so, and dip lightly into the paint. Dab off the excess on a scrap piece of paper.
5. Very gently tap the paint into the stencil, holding down the edges with your finger to keep from smudging the lines. Use protection around the edges if the stencil is smaller than your paper.
( I know the picture looks sort of gross!)
7. Let each letter dry. In the top corners, make a small vertical cut, the same size as you ribbon (my ribbon is half inch) about an inch or so away from the edge.
8. Pass your ribbon through the cuts to make the sign and VOILA, you have now recreated the inspiration photo wedding banner!
