How to make Cougar Town-inspired "EAT" letters
Happy Holiday Monday, lovely readers!
I know I owe you posts on D’s tube surgery and on my Weight Watchers progress, but since it’s a holiday, here is a fluffy and fun little post about a recent craft project …
***
Cougar Town is one of my favourite shows, and I’ve always loved Jules’ “EAT” letters that hang in her kitchen. So here’s how I made my own version!
 |
| See the “EAT”? Isn’t it cute? It’s probably a zillion dollars from a fancy store we don’t even have in Canada, right? |
 |
| I bought these three letters at Michaels (my fave store) |
 |
| I also bought three sheets of scrapbook paper that match my new kitchen colours |
 |
| Ah, Mod Podge. Is there anything it can’t do? |
 |
| I traced each letter onto a sheet of cardstock paper (with a black crayon, to get a distress-y sort of look on the edges) |
 |
| Here are my letters! Aren’t they happy colours? |
 |
| I put a thin layer of Mod Podge (I say “Modge Podge” in my head, do you?) on the surface of each letter … |
 |
| … then I smoothed down the paper cut-out. But wait! This “T” looked a little plain … |
 |
| . I realized there was a funky pattern on the back of the “E” paper, so I cut out some circles … |
 |
| … and Mod-Podged the circles onto the “T” — much better! |
 |
| Here are the finished letters, after they’ve been roughed up with lots of sandpaper action! |
 |
| And here they are in my kitchen! Cuteness! |

Have you ever made something you saw on a TV set? Are you inspired by the decor of fictional characters? Tell me about it!
Happy Labour Day!
