Temple Picture

A couple weeks ago, a friend from our ward asked if I wanted to do this class with her to make a temple picture. She told me about the website http://poppyseedprojects.com/ (which is amazing, I love all their cute stuff!) And after seeing the picture on the site I was all for it! Not to mention the size is a 32X26 and it was only $46 (plus tax). They people who own it are in Herriman. They have a teacher who brings all the supplies to you which included the paint, brushes, wood pieces, particle board, temple photograph, glue, texturizing cream and brush, and a staple gun. And they explained each step while we did it and continued to help throughout the whole process. Which took over 2 hours! It was a lot of fun and they turned out AMAZING! I love it :) We had to paint the frame pieces (they were white) then glue the picture on to the board then texturize the photo with the cream, then staple the painted pieces together to make the frame, then staple the board to the frame and it turned out like this...


I was the last to finish and we had leftover paint that my friend was going to throw away so I asked if I could take it. I bought this shelf at Roberts for 1/2 off about 3 months ago and hadn't gotten around to paint it, so I used the leftover paint and finished my shelf! I love black and use it in our decor so I'm really excited to hang it somewhere. I'll take finished photos of that too once I get it done. I hope to do more crafty stuff. I have found that it is so relaxing and I love it!!
