Gallery wall projects

I made three wood plaques for my gallery wall. I used three fairly inexpensive wood plaques from Hobby Lobby some plum, antique white and sage green paint, plus mod podge , sand paper some pictures and a Dremel tool. Step one, simply paint your plaque then sand the edges after it has dried well to make it look a bit worn a vintage. Step two, brush a layer of mod podge on to the back of your photo then slide your photo around to center it on the plaque, once centered then wipe any excess mod podge with a paper towel from the edges of the picture, it will dry clear anyways so don't worry if it looks messy. Step three, Dremel a hole in the back of the plaque for hanging, your husband can probably better do this for you, mine are butchered back there because my Bright Eyes is not home yet. And that's it! I am going to add our Monogram in the middle and call the wall done. Under the pictures I plan on having a wood crate bookshelf, the crates are waiting to be stained and put together by Bright Eyes when he gets home.

Drop cloth curtains

Ok so I thought it would be nifty to try my hand atdrop-cloth curtains, I purchased a stencil and some paint but apparently not enough paint. I am going to head to the store for a gallon of plum paint hoping they can match my swatch since I already stenciled a row on one of my curtains. So far the stenciled paint looks really amazing on the cloth. I laid down a plastic drop-cloth on the floor to protect the floor from paint seeping through the cloth onto the carpet beneath. I purchased a morrocan wall stencil from hobby lobby and it is quite fetching. Bright is coming home soon so I need to get these done, I have one set trimmed and no sew taped to make a pocket for the rod, the taping , trimming and ironing really isn't too hard, the hard part was getting into work mode and then being stopped abruptly because I did not calculate the paint amount needed properly. Here is a pic of what I have so far. Tomorrow one gallon of flat matte latex paint should help me get my project going again. One gallon of latex paint should cover six panels, and six panels is what I need done. Then I am moving on to dying my drop-cloth curtains for the bedroom. Making some pallet art for above the fireplace mantel and perfecting the bedroom a bit. I finished my wood plaque mod podge pictures for the gallery wall and they look amazing. I will post a quick tutorial on how to do those as well.
