This was a really easy project and it was fun to make something that was personalized for Felicia for her birthday. After looking for something ready made and finding nothing - I decided to do it myself! I took a plain white scrapbook and used Mod Podge to adhere the scrapbook paper to the cover. I laid it out first to decide how I wanted to look (don't just go slapping on whatever lol), then I spread a layer of the mod podge onto the bare cover and covered it with the base paper. Then I painted on another layer over that and added the detail (the eiffel tower - which I cut out). I then put 3 layers of Mod Podge on top of all of it, waiting 30 minutes between each one. Once it dried I was all done!! See didn't I say it was easy!!
I also used the same eiffel tower stencil (I drew it on plain drawing paper to use for a few things) to make silhouette 3D eiffel towers for table decorations. I just cut out two of the same size outines, cut one in half and glued them to either side of the second one. I used foam paper so they would be sturdier, but I think any heavy duty paper would work. These were really easy too - but they were pretty time consuming. I think it took about an hour and a half to make 5 I think. (It was really, really hard to get a good picture of these - but there were pretty cool!)
Has anyone guessed the theme and color scheme used for Felicia's party yet? I think we were too subtle! Lol
Have a great day!
