Crafty girls, how do I make this?

Pinned Image
 
Or some variation?

I have a handful of sayings I want on the playroom walls, but I'm not sure of the cheapest way to go about making them.  I guess the easiest would be to print them on standard paper to frame but that seems a little ho hum. 
 
Any other ideas?

  • I've never actually used it, but I'd think modge podge would work for something like that...

  • You could make it on your computer, then order a large photo from mpix or similar. Or, if you want to spend more money, you could order a gallery wrap of it.

    Glendi's suggestion of mod podge will probably be the cheapest way to make it look cute.

  • Loading the player...
  • Create it in photoshop and then have it printed and mounted as a standout.
  • Are you wanting to customize it?  If not, there are tons on Bed, Bath, and Beyond's website....

    We have their "Family Rules" one....$24 after coupon....it is about 16"x36", I think.

  • I found a cute bird pic and wordy thingy on pinterest that my mom liked. I did a 8x10 print from walgreens (had a free code, otherwise only $2.99), got a piece of wood from Michaels, stained it, trimed the pic to be square, modge podged the back of the pic on the wood, then a thin layer on top. Then used this acrylic triple thick coat over that. It turned out really nice, my mom loves it. It was easy and done it two days. It could be done quicker though, I just had a lot going on. :)
  • I would cover a large canvas using wood chip stickers (wait until they're 50% at Hobby Lobby) in different fonts, then spray paint the whole thing one color.  You could skip the second part if you wanted it colorful.

    Hobby Lobby often has their cheaper 3 pack canvases on sale for 30-50% off.  I'd do it across three canvases and hang them side by side. 

    ETA: Or, do it on the 3 pack, and paint each canvas different solid colors after you put on the stickers, to create a color block style art.   Or, color the the canvases different colors, and paint the stickers different colors before putting them on (wood chip stickers a bit 3D).  For example, color the 1st and 3rd canvases black, and paint the stickers all white, and leave the 2nd canvas white, and use black stickers, or use shades that coordinate with your household theme.  If you went with black and white, you could hang black and white photos around them.
