Yes, there IS a Part 2 (and final part) to my Christmas present craft-madness caper! To round things off, I've decided to post a few pics of the memo boards I designed and decorated as two other Christmas presents for 2011.
Both memo boards started off looking a little bit like this:
Primed and sanded: The memo boards came in three MDF wooden bits. The kits also provided hanging hooks and a paper memo block.
Base colour coat: Both memo boards were painted in the one base colour coat - the colour above is a combination of "Southern Ocean Blue" + white. I painted the other memo board a light metallic pink.
Frills and trimmings: For both boards, I used a crackle medium to paint top and bottom decorative trims. I also accentuated the memo board's wooden curls by painting these a contrasting colour.
Final decorative touches: I had sets of "Rub On" stickers that I used to press on to the MDF surface. Surprisingly enough, the stickers adhered quite well!
Here are the final results!
Until next time...
