Joy In the Little Projects

Confession: I have the artistic abilities of a six-year-old.

I don't generally think of myself as a terribly artistic person. I'm not too bad at thinking creatively, it's the execution of said creative ideas that gets me. I've often joked if I could recreate some of my dreams (or nightmares) I'd be a billionaire music video producer or architect. Unfortunately my bank account strongly suggests I'm nowhere close to a billionaire, so I have to find joy in the little creative projects I am able to complete.

In total fairness, this creative idea was not entirely mine. It's based off a Mission:Organization post I saw in September with great fall decor ideas. I decided to put a little holiday twist on mine, and though it doesn't require much more than Kindergarten-level artistic ability (I think that's when we learned to use scissors), it's fulfilling to walk in the room and think, "Yeah, I did that."

 What You Need:

-Dollar Store Picture Frames (They don't all have to be the same size or style - get creative!)

-Scrapbook or Printer Paper

-Scissors (Fiskars Safety is optional, not required like in Kindergarten.)

-Double-sided Tape or a Glue Stick

 Step 1: Measure and cut background paper to fit frame.

 

Step 2: Trace or print letters to cut and form various words or names.

Step 3: Use double-sided tape or a glue stick to adhere letters to background paper.

Step 4: Place end product in frames, and pat yourself on the back for a creative thought well executed!
