Beautiful Mistakes

None of my projects are ever perfect, but sometimes they turn out completely different than I first imagined.  Sometimes they may even turn out better than what I had planned them to be.  I see all sorts of adorable things on blogs, and I think, 'man I can so make that'.  Some are awesome, and some end up on the curb on trash day. 

I STILL have not filled up all my empty walls in my house.  I keep trying, but we have other, bigger, items to work on in the house, and I can't justify spending a ton on the walls - yet.  So I saw this small project online, and I thought I could do something small and cute for the kitchen.  It wasn't quite the way I wanted it, but I think it turned out pretty cute.

 Not sure why this picture is a little blurry, but all you need is raised letters, a canvas, and spray paint.  

Since I was going for something for my kitchen, I decided to embrace my love of baking.  I placed the letters on the canvas - since mine were stickers = super easy.  In the blog I saw, they glued theirs on the canvas. 

 

I spray pained the canvas and the letters.  I had a 'duh' moment when I thought the foam letters would really absorb the spray paint.  Not happening.  So here is where I change the project up a little.  I decide to let the canvas dry for a day, and then I peel off the letters. 

I think it looks pretty cute.  It will go up on a shelf in my kitchen {if I ever get one}.  For now, it's sitting in my window seal.  

This and that...
