For the final project in our Story Book DIY series I chose the book Peter Pan…We have also done Charlie and the Chocolate factory, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland and I must say the women doing the challenge with me are AWESOME at thinking outside the box.

For today’s challenge  I thought of a way I could preserve Aidan and keep him forever young (Like Peter Pan) but then I thought CHILD ABUSE and opted to preserve one of his drawings instead by decoupaging it onto a canvas along with my favourite Peter Pan Quote

LAUGHTER is timeless IMAGINATION has no age DREAMS are forever…

This is how it turned out and I am quite pleased

First step is to get your budding artist to do a picture for you

Choose your favourite (shameless look at my cute kid, inclusion pic)

Get a small canvas (mine was R29 at CNA) your picture, mod podge and note book paper pretty pen and scissors (not shown because quote was an after thought, quite honestly)

TIP: If you do not have modge podge you can make your own by mixing 3 parts white glue to 1 part water. You can then put clear varnish on after for shine (I don’t because I quite like the vintage look). Buying modge podge is not expensive though and you will find many uses for it but when you run out when you want to start a craft this works well 🙂

Cut picture to size, you might want to date it as a reference

Write down your quote and cut out

assemble and then take a blurry picture (The blurry picture part is super optional)

glue down picture with modge podge leave it to dry, put a layer over, let this dry and repeat

It should end up like this 🙂 preferably in an upward position , but my computer thinks it’s funny you get the jist though 🙂

Don’t forget to head on over to my fellow crafters
Also let us know if you want us to do something like this again 🙂
