Confession time: I absolutely LOVE cooking competition shows. Iron Chef, Next Food Network Star… [sigh, I miss cable] So when I was given the opportunity to participate in a crafty Iron Chef type Scribble Challenge, I was so super excited.
I was sent a box of craft supplies from Scribble Shop and given the challenge of making something using all of them.
I was sent the following supplies:
metallic stamp pad
Mod Podge
stencil
raffia
Dress It Up embellishments
glass gems
paisley shapes
popsicle sticks
colored pencils
With these supplies, and a few of my own, I made an inspiration board to go above my sewing table.
From my own supplies, I also used:
burlap
cardboard
rub-on letters
thumb tacks
Elmer’s glue
fabric glue
stapler
Instead of buying a cork board [because I am cheap!], I stacked three pieces of cardboard together. I used the regular glue to stick those together. I stretched a piece of burlap around the cardboard and attached it with my stapler.
Using the stamp pad and the stencil, I added a “painted” embellishment.
I added some of the self-sticking paisley shapes to the other side and raffia around the whole thing with fabric glue.
With the colored pencils, I colored one of the popsicle sticks. I used my rub-on letters to spell out the word “create.” I covered the popsicle stick with Mod Podge, to seal the letters onto the stick.
I used my fabric glue [because I was too lazy to go fire up the glue gun…] to attach my thumb tacks to the glitter Dress It Up embellishments and the glass gems. Is it okay to love thumb tacks? Because I totally do.
Thumb tacks ready to be used!
