Pinterest Activity Number Two

So for those who know me know that I LOVE cards, I hate throwing them away. I always take chem to pick out the perfect card and I know others do as well. I honestly love cards and hate just throwing them away, they were sent with love and I want to keep that with me. So after this Christmas I was feeling crafty and started looking online and found this amazing way to keep my cards, but make them useful. I now have TWO new Christmas decorations and plan on making new one's each year.

Tips
-Print the main body part on cardstock
-Put together the main body, I used hot glue, I just LOVE hot glue!
-after cutting out the template for the cards (I just printed on regular paper to save money) I traced it on one card and then cut it out and used it as a template for the rest.
-Trace ALL the cards first- hassle I know...but worth it!
-Cut out the cards
-Put them together (use hot glue...so easy!)
-Fold them down (as instructed) and glue them onto the main body
-Be amazed at how EASY it is, and how wonderful it looks

Here is mine (ignore the hot glue strands...still cleaning it up)

Pinterest Activity Number One

DIY Family Sign

So I have become OBSESSED with Pinterest, my first thing I did with pinterest (as in actually making something from it and not just pulling worksheets for my class) was a Christmas gift for many of my family members.  Just thought I would show it and give tips and advice if you would like to try it as well.

- Cut the tile apart with an X-acto knife
-Remove the backing (it looks SO much better with the backing removed)
-Lay out the tiles how you want to do it- takes longer but SO worth it!!
-Uses slimmer letters and smaller numbers (I didn't use the numbers at all the people said they liked it better without the numbers)
