My son is a little bit obsessed with trucks at the moment. So, I decided to make him a picture of a truck for his bedroom. This was also an excuse to try out my new toy that I mentioned in my last post. I bought myself a Silhouette Cameo machine. I had wanted some kind of a tool that would cut various shapes and images for a long time now. My sister-in-law recommended that I check out the Silhouette, and after doing some research on the machine I just had to have it! My husband is rolling his eyes right now I am sure, but that's okay! Look at the cool stuff I can make with this machine! And all at the touch of a button! It's awesome. This was ridiculously easy to make and I love the way it turned out! Plus, I can change it up whenever my son decides to have a new obsession...which I am sure will happen any day now.
Here's how I made it: I bought two 5x7" white canvases from Michaels, taped off an inch on one of the edges of each of the canvases, and painted each section navy blue. I cut out the truck from my silhouette and used 2 sided glue tape that I have for scrapbooking to stick them to the canvas. Then I simply decided how far apart I wanted the two pieces to hang from each other and stuck two nails in the wall. Done! I love how easy this was and the graphic look of it.
