Boys Will Be Boys Mesh Hanger

Whoo Hoo...here is a project I had LOADS of fun making :)

I wanted to make something dedicated to the guys in our life and the Curious By Design - Boys I Collage Sheet was PERFECT for this fun and unique collage project. It incorporates not only the CBD Collage images but it also has loads of Tim Holtz's Doo Dads and many other dimensional embellishments.

Just a note ~ The rusty mesh comes in a long strip folded like an accordion album approximate ATC size. You will need to cut it into pieces using heavy duty shears. BE VERY CAREFUL...as with any metal screening or mesh there are lots of sharp little edges which can cut you.

Hope you enjoy!!

Instructions:
1. Carefully cut 9 panels from the rusty mesh. Each panel should measure approximately 2 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ (ATC size).

2. Trim images and word strips from collage sheets.

3. Cut out desired “Doo-Dads” from Tim Holtz Collage Sheets.

4. Layer each panel as if it were an ATC card. (Note: I used Glossy or Sepia Accents to adhere all of the items to the mesh. It was thick enough that it held the pieces in place but didn’t drip/run.)

5. Add embellishments to each card.

6. Apply a layer of Glossy or Sepia Accents to various pieces to give additional dimension. Let dry.

7. Wire the panels together and attach hanger.


Here are some photos of each individual section...

So there you go...a fun project celebrating all the boys in your life :)

Have a great day!!
