Elmer's Look for Less challenge (and giveaway)

If you remember, last summer I had the opportunity to work with Elmer's and host a Kid's Craft Camp party.  They provided all the supplies and the kids provided the creativity.  

Cut to a few weeks ago. 

I was contacted again and presented with a challenge.  

"Look for Less"

The goal was to create something for the home or holidays.  

Elmer's sent these supplies

(foam board, paint pens, exacto knife and glue sticks)

plus a $25 Visa gift card to get some extras.

My first thought was the black foam board looks like a chalkboard.

The lizard loves yellow.  I used the all purpose glue stick to add a few pieces of cardstock (from my stash) to a piece of the board. 

 

Super simple, super cute 'chalkboard' door sign.

I also wanted to make something a little shiny :) 

I picked up some metallic paint (~$4)

I had a stash of clothespins - one of my fave things in the world!

 I used the exacto to cut a circle from the foam board.

I added the clothespins.

and spray painted the entire thing



And ended up with this...

I was going for a starburst-y look.

I'm happy with how these projects turned out.  

And the only extra that I bought was the Krylon metallic spray paint.

My next idea is to create sconces with the remaining foam board.  

I'll be sure to share them when I finish.
