Princess Room Decor

I saw the cutest thing for a little girls room. 
I would love to properly tell you where I saw this, so please, if this was your idea, let me know so I can share your link and blog. I loved your idea so much, I just had to make one for my daughters birthday. I searched for the blog I saw it on with no luck. So if you see this let me know or if any of you wonderful bloggers recognize this, then please share the details. LOL


Update: Found the Blog(s). Two of them. Yeah! Thank you so much Shannon for sharing the links with me. I am so glad I can now tell everyone where I found this idea. Yeah.

Shannon @ One Crafty Mommy is where I saw this beautiful project. Make sure you check out hers too!
Making
And she got her inspiration from Tiffany @ Making the World Cuter. So go see the original. It is a must. She has a BOYS one and a Family Rules One. Cool!

So for mine, I added a few more lines because my board was too big and I wanted a few personal touches.

What you will need....

  • Wood - mine is 12 x 24
  • Scrap book paper in various colors (strips)
  • Mod Podge
  • Paint Pen (I used Black)
  • E-6000
  • Picture Hanger


First I cut scrapbook paper into strips. (12" x 2") Tore the edges to give it a different look. Then glued them with mod podge. 

Then after letting the glue dry completely. (at least 2 hrs.) I started adding my text and embellishments. I was going to use different colors but was happy with the colors of the scrap book paper. I wanted it to pop, so using just the black paint pens made it look just how I wanted. 

I used E-6000 to glue on a Picture Hanger (on the back) and it was ready to hang.

We love how it turned out!

This would also make a wonderful gift for any lil girl. I am making one for lil boys too. I will have to post that soon too!

  3. This is such a great idea! I made a family rules canvas that is kind of like this, but this is the first "Princess" picture I have seen. I can't wait to see the one you make for Little Boys. :)

  9. This looks similar to the family rules canvas from The Pleated Poppy: http://lindseycheney.blogspot.com/2009/09/family-rules-canvas.html

    But I don't know if that's where you found it. Looks really cute though!

  11. Thanks everyone. It was so fun to make. Quick and easy too! I am already writing down words for the boys. But it's tricky. Really only for Toddlers and Babies. I don't think my 10 year old would appreciate it as much. LOL

    But if you have any fun suggestions for sayings, I would love it.

    Karisa, Thanks for the link for the Family Rules. I remember seeing that one, but it wasn't the exact one. Darn, thought someone might have found it. I will have to keep looking. Thanks again.

    And thanks again to all for the sweet comments.

  12. Hello! I did this board awhile ago:http://1craftymommy.blogspot.com/2010/01/princess-project-and-freebie.html

    and I got the idea from this blog:
    http://makingtheworldcuter.blogspot.com/2010/01/toot-toot-tuesday-cute-rules.html

    That's the only place I have seen it so I hope that is where you find it!
