Tutorial; How to create zebra striped wooden letters

For today's post, I wanted to share an easy tutorial for creating your own zebra striped wooden letter accents. The wooden letters & paint can be purchased at your local craft store. I recently made these particular letters to use as a personalized embellishment for a project that I will share on here soon, but in the mean time, I invite you to try this technique for yourself, it's really cool, fairly simple and doesn't take very long.

Step #1- Paint wooden letters white (use 2-3 coats to ensure full coverage).

Step #2- Draw in stripes with pencil (lightly, but make sure the lines are visible to use as a guide).

Step #3- Fill-in stripes with a black paint using a very thin brush for detail (only one coat is necessary).

***Please allow paint to dry completely in between coats.

Enjoy!

Bat Mitzvah Surprise

Good Evening All!

I hope most of you have had the chance to enjoy the beginning of the summer! I just came back from a trip to Miami for my cousin's bachelorette party! It was a blast and I'm really glad I went! I will have to post a few pictures from the festivities soon...

Today I thought I would share some pictures of a large collage that I made for a colleague of mine. She had her daughter's Bat Mitzvah this past May and wanted a keepsake that would be on display during the party and then kept in a shadowbox frame as a momento for years to come. She provided the color story (bright purple, hot pink & lime green) and also a bunch of personal pictures and childhood ephemera. I gathered all things crafty such as; the rub-ons, stickers, patterned papers, flower embellishments, gator board, etc. It was a big hit at the party and a pleasure to create! I definitely look forward to creating more in the future.
