Children's ABC book

What is it: Children's ABC Book

Cost to do it in our Secret Saturday date: pending

Cost to do it on your own:
Cost= I got 5 chipboard for $1.00 (but you can find them on sale for around .50 cents)
Tissue paper= around $1.00 (you could probably find this at the dollar store)
Mod Podge=$5.00-7.00 (you will have tons left over)
ABC Puzzle=$1.00(Michael's)
Foam paint brush=$.50 (Home Depot, Roberts, Lowe's)
Velcro=$1.00 (Wal-mart, Joann's)
Stickers= $1.00 to $10.00
Total=$12.50 to $23.50

Time to complete around 2 to 4 hours

Step 1: Add mod podge on to chip board

Step 2: Crinkle tissue paper and lay it on mod podged chip board

Step 3: repeat (do 2 layers of tissue paper)

Step 4:I used a bunch of left over stickers from old projects and then added mod podge to the top to seal it, giving it a glitter look.

Step 5: Add Velcro to the chipboard and puzzle pieces
Step 6: I attached a plastic bag on the back to hold the puzzle pieces when it wasn't being used. And your done!
