Mothers Day Craft

Mother's Day is quickly approaching, here is a DIY Photo Gift Idea along with some of my favorite Mother's Day gifts throughout the years.  I love pictures, and I must say these Mod Podge Photo Letters were really easy to make and I love the way they turned out.

What you need:
1. Paper Mache Letters (I found at Hobby Lobby for $2 a piece)
2. Paint for your letters.
(I used black spray paint I had on one set and craft acrylic paint for the other set)
3. Printed photos printed on paper using a color laser printer. Real Photos or photo paper is too thick for this paper mache project.  
(I placed all my images in a Word Doc and then sent to my local Postal and Print Place, for 4 pages it was less than $3)

Directions:
1. Paint your Paper Mache Letters let dry.
2. Cut out your photos and arrange around the letters.  
3. Place Mod Podge on the back of the photo and lay flat on the letter, pushing out any air bubbles, once you have completely placed all your photos, let dry.  They should be dry by the time you finish your next letter.  
4. Lastly brush on Mod Podge over the photos with a sponge paint brush.  Let dry and do a 2nd coat.











This would make a great gift for your mom, and it's easy enough for kids to do (for you), too. Thanks Jessica!
