I made a custom stencil of Louisiana, with a heart cut out over Baton Rouge, where me and the hubs met I did this with Tulips fabric paint that comes in a spray bottle.


And then I made one for our niece (sans BR heart), with regular silver fabric paint and a brush.

This has been floating around in several places. I made my own for myself, my sister, and two of my friends.

I really like how the bleach on blue turned green!

I really love how it turned out! I wanted to try the crayon thing but not do exactly what everyone else has done- and I didn't 100% like the idea of still have the crayons on my piece when I was done.

Awww, cute. My sister loves owls, I should try to make this!

So I took this tutorial and made my own with a few tweaks. Thank you OP for the great idea! I found someone with 100 CD cases on freecycle. This is smaller than the one in the tutorial because I didn't really design it to split a room- more to put some color on the wall since we can't paint (well, we can, if I paint it back to white before we move out and I feel like that's a lot of painting when we're only here for another 10 months).

all my case panels hot-glued together-


Painted, halfway-


Then I added some silver with a rag bc the color was REALLY intense-


The tree part is done!


Wiring it together...it's kind of hard to get a good picture of it.


I'm semi-obsessed with making things reversible, because I get bored but I spent a lot of time on this and I'm not going to scrap it when I want to change things up! I also read about the problems with the hot glue sometimes not holding on its own, so I found some printed tape at the craft store and used that along the edges- I might do it on each square later like a grid. Then I put pictures in it, so if I get bored I can just flip it over and have a handy dandy photo mosaic of sorts (that's me and my husband snorkeling on our honeymoon



Finished!


I'm pretty jazzed about it even though it didn't turn out perfect. I wanted to add some writing of quotes or something but my handwriting is sort of unattractive, so I might add that later. Thanks again for the tute!

Woah, how did you do all that in ONE month?! Amazing job, I especially like the pink tunic-like wrap hoodie.

I go to GU as well! What do you mean by hookers, if not the hard workers of Sprague?

This is so flippin cool!! Great job...when I have some spare time I think I will attempt to make one.
