Okay...so I saw this on Pinterest and really fell in love with it...
So...I thought, "Hey, how hard can this be" Well, I "glanced" at the instructions and got to work. I was NOT a fan when I was done. Notice though, that I said I glanced at the tutorial. Plus, newbie crafter that I am, I was like, "What the heck is bakers twine?? I'm so not gonna search for that, I can find something else to use" Ummm, yea...NO! So I trashed the first one, and started again. I was incredibly blessed that the song I wanted was one of the three they had on the site!! I was making it for my parents, so how lucky was that??!! I started again, and this time I outlined the tree when I was done with a thick black sharpie, so when I cut it, it had more of the outline/3D effect I wanted. Also, I was browsing the $1 section of Target (one of my most fave places to be) and I kid you not, sitting on top of some "Frozen" stickers was this cardboard owl with "Bakers Twine" wrapped around it...all by its little lonesome, AND 50% off...so .50 cents...yes please!!! Sometimes I seriously get that lucky! So anywho...I was pretty happy with how it turned out. I didn't love all the empty space on the side though, so I just added a small tag with the date they were married.
Here it is...I hate that the lighting sucked and doesn't show how white it really is, but oh well...
Here is a close up of the hearts and the tag...I wish my printing looked like the one on Pinterest!
I was pretty happy with it, and more importantly, so was my mom. Let me know if you decide to try this...would love to see how it turns out for you!
