Football is SERIOUS!!

I do not like Football. Never have. My Husband, however, loves it and so do my kids. In fact most people around me do...I made this plaque for a work colleague who celebrated her Birthday last week. The colours are those of her country's team and I used a plaque I bought at the Car boot sale for 50p as a base for my Project.


I covered the front of the plaque with Making Memories paper and poked through the holes with my pokey tool so I could thread through some wire I had shaped around a pencil.
I sanded the edges of the paper and inked them a little.

The football buttons were some my Son bought at a craft fair when we went together ages ago and I found them under his bed when I was clearing out. The sparkly letters and the white ones are from Making memories and the larger ones are my favourite Prima ones (you will have seen these a lot lately on my Projects...)
I finished it off with a bow which I think I received a long long time ago in an RAK from Becky!
Have a truly terrific Thursday!

  1. She'll love it!! Wasn't Sir Alf Ramsay who said 'some people think football's a matter of life and death - but it'smore serious than that' - perfect! I'mnot a constant fan, but am loving the party that surrounds the World Cup!
