Building Brick Name Sign
02 February
My almost 9 year old (No, I'm really not old enough to have a 9 year old!) wants a LEGO room. LEGO themed items are: 1. hard to find and 2. insanely expensive. Enter mom, a Cricut, and mod podge.
I picked up some generic paintings at a fill a bag sale at the craft store. I primed it and painted it to cover theugly pictures. Then, I used my Cricut to cut out the name from scrapbook paper. This isn't the official LEGO paper, but I got 25 sheets for $2, so I have plenty to do everything.
I used mod podge to attach the letters and let dry. Then I used regular Mod Podge to start to seal it. I find that I get a thicker layer of sealer with regular mod podge under the hard coat and there's no stickiness from the mod podge regular formula.
Total cost? 50-ish cents. It's hard to calculate with the fill a bag sale because I got waaaaay more than these pieces of wood.
Next up are vinyl wall decals and some custom photography.
