I love to decorate my home for each season. This time of year it's a celebration of L-O-V-E! I used some Queen song lyrics (a song from our wedding) to make a simple, graphic piece of art for our bedroom. Would you like to play along?
1. You will need: Vinyl letters (I used 3 inch), a large canvas (mine was appx. 4 feet tall) and craft paint. 2. Choose the lyrics you want to spell out and cut out those letters. Experiment with the way you want to group your words. 3. Draw a heart outline with a pencil or marker. Next, adhere your letters to the center of the heart. 4. Paint the outside of the heart first to get a clean edge and cover any pencil lines. (oops... I put my S upside down... oh well!) 5-7. Paint 2-3 coats of paint over your heart. Allow it to dry between each coat. 8. When paint is completely dry peel off the letters to reveal your pretty song lyrics!

Is a puppy allowed to be that cute? Isn't there some sort of law against it? I made one of your projects for the first time last night and, although not looking as professional as yours, I was really pleased with the result. I'll be posting a photo later tonight so you can check it out!
It was part of a craft night a friend held and I'm hosting the next one; I wondered if you had any ideas for glass/ ceramic painting? Rx
