BEE happy

 Every once in a while I get an idea that I think is absolutely brilliant (it really isn't original but I was excited about it!) This is one of those times.

Lately I've taken an interest in decoupage but found it difficult to find affordable paper to use. Etsy sellers wanted a crazy amount of money for 2 napkins. Amazon also wanted a crazy price for a set of cute decorative cocktail napkins. I didn't want to have to spend $15 just to use 1 napkin. The other problem I ran into was spending so much time looking for something specific I had in mind. 

That's when I had the idea! In true fashion of the modern women I thought heck I'll just do it myself. So designed my own and had it printed. *Genius* I am so excited about the results.  

Isn't it adorable? So I used it on my 5x5 box frame (which is my favorite btw).

I cut out the part of the paper that I wanted and used a dollar tree foam brush to brush on some modpodge where I wanted the paper to stick. I then laid my paper onto the board and smoothed it out to remove as many wrinkles as I could. 

Once in place I got my foam brush damp, dipped it into a little modpodge and brushed on a light top coat and then allowed everything to dry. 

Once dry I used my Chalk Couture Silk Screen Transfer to add on the words "BEE happy". The results did not disappoint! Check out my final piece and tell me what you think 🖤
