So, I should admit, she's never actually seen a penguin in real life. She is in love with movie "Happy Feet." I happen to like this movie as well, which is a good thing, because she wants to watch it a lot. This helped, oh so much, on our 20 hour road trip.
I made stencil cut-outs of penguins...
...then, hung them on her wall, above her crib. Don't they look delightful against the blue wall paint. Almost as if they are backed up to a glacier. Sort of...if that glacier was in my backyard in NE Minneapolis.
At first I was a bit annoyed that I only had two stencils, then I realized I could flip them for some variety. And, of course, my cutting wasn't all that precise, so there you go - penguins with some individuality.
Iron Craft is an every-other week challenge this year and for that, I am glad. Also, my goal for this year is to re-purpose or use mostly, only supplies I have on hand for these craft challenges. I collected enough materials last year for many projects, so it should be fairly easy to use what is on hand.
Join me, my friends! It's a blast to be a part of this crafting community!
Love it! Over Christmas I stenciled the archway in my kitchen. It's pretty elaborate and is the most challenging house project I've done, but so worth it. (Your penguins look great - the slight imperfections are charming.)
ReplyDeleteThose are just darling! You need to take her to the zoo to see the real penguins.
ReplyDeleteIt looks fabulous and what a luscious color for your daughter's room!
ReplyDeleteYeah penguins!
ReplyDeleteI might have just a wee bit of penguin obsession as well...
