Crafty Crease #9: Crafty Nieces

This weekend, we had the pleasure of having three of our lovely nieces to stay.  While they were here, trying to keep their lovely Uncle in check, we managed to get a bit of crafting done.

It didn't take them too long, with amazing results.  They are just about to move house so they all used colours that would compliment their new rooms.

I got the wooden words from the good ole 'Spotlight' store.  I think I paid about $7 each for them and they have a variety of common words to choose from.



When choosing colours to paint them, the world's your oyster really.  We got sample paint pots that were 2-3 shades lighter than the girls bedroom wall.  Each sample cost about $5.  Its about the same price as the Kaisercolour craft paint but you get at least 3 times as much paint.  Not only that, the color range is phenomenal!



Luckily, I got the small 4" canvases from Spotlight too.  These came in a pack of 9 for about $21.  At $2.30 each, thats definitely a good deal.

Because the paint was designed for interior walls, it was of excellent quality and both projects only needed 2 coats.  The paint comes in 250ml pots - we barely made a dent in them, so the paint is going to go a long way!!

You did an awesome job girls, I love doing crafty stuff with you!  A big thank you for the wonderful birthday breakfast and for keeping Uncle Vaughan in line.  We love you heaps and we can't wait to see your new home when you've moved in.
