Framed Crayon Monogram Letter Art

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

When I saw this idea, I knew I wanted to implement it for Teacher Appreciation Week.

First I printed out a large letter of the teacher's initial.  I also printed her name next to it.  The large "J" was printed very lightly so that it wouldn't be seen.

 

  Next, I lined up my crayons in the order that I was going to use them.

 On a scratch sheet of paper, I marked the length of my cut and started chopping away.

I glued the crayons right onto the paper.

Then I framed it.

I really like the way it turned out.

 The glass that is normally in the front of the frame was removed and placed in the back.  Also, in the back, I added a picture and wrote, "Thanks for making 2nd grade so colorful."

 One done, another to go.

The letter A was much more difficult and time consuming, but it turned out pretty good.

I simply love the way they look. I may use the idea in the boys' room, but on a larger scale.

One day down, 4 more to go! Stay tuned for a full week of Teacher Appreciation ideas!
