~Father’s Day Gift~

Since I know Randy does not go on my blog I am posting my Father’s Day gift that I made him…I’m so happy with how it turned out that I’m posting directions on how to make one yourself!  You need a Silhouette or Cricut cutter, some vinyl, a canvas and some modge podge or decoupage glue.

I started with a 12x12 plain white canvas and added some paint…IMG_8797_4466

Then I used my Silhouette to cut out my images, the tree I used came from the Silhouette studio.

The finished cut out…

Then I stuck it to my dried canvas…it takes a lot of convincing to get it to stay on…

Then I added my dates…I chose to just do birthdates.  You could do names as well but I liked the simplicity of the numbers…I started out with wanting to get Ethan to stamp his hand on top of the tree but since there is only him I thought it would look funny.

Then to decoupage the whole thing..

The finished project!  A family tree!  Don’t mind the shine…the glue was still wet when I took the picture!
