Decopatch

Hello lovelies!

My cousin and I decided to take a little trip to the local 'Hobby Craft' store after we decided to get creative. I had no idea what I wanted to do, I'm not the worlds most creative person especially when it comes to painting. So that idea was not in the picture. After wondering one of the biggest stores ever we came across 'Decopatch'. This is having a cardboard template and decorating it in different colour/patterned paper. 

I got the 'M' template, as its the first letter of my name. Deciding on the paper I wanted was one hard decision but as you can see I went for a cute red and white one with three types of patterns; Spots, stripes and checks. I wanted to add some sparkles to it so we digged out some glitter glue and diamond stickers. 

Using my very brightly coloured green scissors, I started cutting out pieces and using PVA and a little brush to stick it on. Although I thought it would be messy but it wasn't too bad. That's another reason why I'm not always creative, I'm a bit of a clean freak-.-. 

I started to get way into this thing. We worked on them no stop and I'm thinking of finishing off the rest of my name when I got the time. Of course I want to find new patterns but my OCD may kick in and I'll find another red. It was quite cheap too. The 'M' was £2 and the paper was £3.79. The only disadvantage was how long it did take. Patience is defiantly a virtue. 

This is the finish product. I didn't end up using the glitter glue but I did use the diamond stickers on the top and bottom (My bad photography means you can't exactly see it, sorry). I did two different patterns on each side so when I get bored of one, I can turn it around and admire the other. I hope this post has inspired you too. It was nice to do something new.
