Something for the Boys
We were challenged to put on our masculine thinking caps for June. This challenge may give you some ideas father's day.
A clipboard and can for his nuts for Dad and a smaller clipboard for Dad's Little Helper. We are also supposed to incorporate the following elements: ink, metal and distressing.
This is my first try at Decoupage. At first I did try a homemade version of the decoupage recipe and it turn out just fine. It had a flat look though. I did use a brand name product because I wanted it shiny.I took two clip boards made of thick chipboard. (I picked these up at Target for $1 each. ) They were cute as were, but remember we are going for a masculine theme. For dad's nuts, I up-cycled a veggie can. (You could use a jar too!) Cut the letters on my Pazzles and adhered them with the decoupage. I think it turned out to be a fun little set for dad and his helper. I see now that I totally blew off the required elements. Sorry. (I do not not what distressing is anyway.)
Speaking of masculine, my 6 1/2 year old cave boy needed some entertaining while I was trying to get this project completed. I brought him in on it. He enjoys crafting and learning new things. He chose to deco a bottle with technology pictures (mostly sound equipment). He hasn't decided the purpose of his bottle, but he is quite proud! I think he really did enjoy this craft. Maybe this summer I'll have both cave boys deco a wooden box!!
