Art for Arts Sake Segment

DIY Saints Football Picture Frame

This is another simple project that can make a huge impact. Its also a great way to cheer and decorate for your team, but do it with style!

What you will need:

• Scrap book paper - I bought 4 different patterns and colors
• A picture frame
• Scissors
• Scrap paper
• Tape

Tape your background scrap paper down so that it cannot not move.

Fold a piece of scrap paper in half and draw out a rough fleur de lis shape

Fold the paper in half and cut out your design.

I like to cut out the fleur de lis when the paper is folded so that the finished product is symmetrical.

Use the fleur de lis shape to trace on different patterned scrap book papers. Cut out the design and tape different layers.

Put your design in your frame and close up the back.

Voila!

DIY Saints Chevron Pillow

This is a great way to make a quick and cute pillow to start out the Saints Football season.

What you will need:

• Pillow cover - I bought mine at Hobby Lobby for just $4!
• Gold glitter iron-on transfer sheet
• Pillow insert

Fold a piece of scrap paper in half and draw out a rough fleur de lis shape

Fold the paper in half and cut out your design.

I like to cut out the fleur de lis when the paper is folded so that the finished product is symmetrical.

Trace the fleur de lis onto the back of the iron-on transfer sheet.

Cut it out.

Follow instructions for the iron-on transfer and iron the fleur de lis shape onto the pillow cover.

Viola! 

DIY LSU Cupcake Toppers

Show your support this Saturday for LSU (or UW) with some simple DIY cupcake toppers! 

These are so simple to make. All you have to do is print out the photos below and cut along the dotted lines. Fold in half so that the white paper is on the back and the design in in front. Hot glue tooth picks in between the two halves of paper and VOILA! DIY cupcake toppers!

Print and cut

Enjoy!
