PROJECT 3: SHELF LIFE

What you need:

  • Scrapbooking paper and/or wallpaper
  • A selection of photos
  • A selection of frames
  • Craft scissors or Exacto knife
  • Healing mat (or similar cutting surface)
  • Letter templates
  • Glue dots

    1. Using chipboard monograms as templates (we used chipboard monograms from Basic Grey), trace the letters you’ll need and cut them out of scrapbooking paper (we used a selection of colourful wallpaper ends and paper from the Basic Grey Color Me Silly collection).

    2. Secure them to a desired backdrop (we printed out a solid cream-coloured background) using glue dots. TIP: Don’t feel you’re stuck to the size of glue dots: you can trim them and shape them as you require!

    3. Frame pictures, words you’ve printed out or additional sheets of coloured paper.

    4. Arrange on a shelf, along with any precious toys or objects that round out the display.
