With all of the patriotic and father's day craft ideas that have been floating around the blogosphere, I got inspired. It had never occurred to me that Dave's dad and my step dad both served in the military. Okay...scratch that. That actually had occurred to me. What I didn't realized is that my kids didn't know that they have 2 grandpas that have served in the military. I think that is so awesome! And so sad that my kids didn't know that it was part of their heritage and family identity. Huge fail on my part. So, I made something. And, I really like how they turned out!
Dave found these cool floating frames at Walmart. I made the photos with the flag background in Photoshop. Then, added vinyl "Land of the Free; Because of the Brave". And, my favorite part was a last minute inspiration. I used vinyl with star cut outs as a stencil and etched the outside glass with etching cream. I love how it turned out. We gave these to each of the dads, but I'm definitely making duplicates for our house!
I LOVE how they turned out too. I might order one to give to Michael jr. for a christmas present. I can't wait to see Pa's face when he opens it. WOW

ReplyDeleteI think I tried to leave a comment earlier, didn't work. Anyways, I love this idea. I can't wait to try it although I doubt they'll look as good as yours. ( you are so super talented, Shatzi)
