My second Homemade Gift Exchange!

Every year, Linda over at Craftaholics Anonymous hosts 2 craft exchanges.  She pairs people together from the same country and has them make things for each other and then send them to their gift buddy!

This time, I got a girl named Brittany from Atlanta as a gift buddy, and I made her this:


This project was super easy and came out super cute, so you probably don't even need a tutorial, but here is what I did.  I bought a small letter B from Wal-Mart, along with a pack of scrapbooking paper.  I came home, and painted the B black on the back, outer rim, and inside.  Then, using sunlight, held the letter B up to a window behind my favorite piece of scrapbook paper to see where I wanted the pattern to go.  I Mod Podged the B and stuck the paper to it.  Once it was on there for a few minutes, I took an Exacto knife and cut the paper out around the B.  Then all I had to do was put Brittany and Justin (her husband's name) on the B with stickers I already had, go over it with Mod Podge one more time, and voila!

A really cute little B to celebrate their first year of marriage, and it can either be hung or stand on its own!  Happy Anniversary to Brittany and Justin!
