Okay crafty people........
I have to go to my father in laws house tomorrow for Easter.
But as a tradition, I always get a small token for his wife (not my mother in law) as she is hosting, and my mother taught me it's always polite to bring a small gift of appreciation for the host. That and it really pisses off my sister in law every time, and anytime i can do that is a win for me.
So his wife is a teacher so I stitched this up
Painted a frame with chalkboard paint.
Then used a little stuffing to make it pop
and then glued some fabric to the back that i had in my stash
This is the first time I've ever done anything but frame my work, and I am by no means a crafty individual, I follow directions and patterns very easily. Other then that.... Is there anything else that needs to be done before i hand it over as a Easter gift?

Don't know the first thing about framing, but that is really, really cute. Happy Easter!

Re: Okay crafty people........
Only thing I can think of, and in this case may be omitted, is glazing to stop dust. Could be done with acrylic sheet glued/clipped to the front face of the frame.
Otherwise, rather nice.

Richard.

I think it is lovely and will most definitely annoy your sister-in-law!

That looks just right for a teacher and I am sure that deep down she will appreciate the work which has gone into it.

Re: Okay crafty people........
This is so crafty and creative. I'm also one of those people that's great at copying ideas but have a hard time coming up with things on my own. I think it is fantastic the way it is.
