Bucket List

I have really enjoyed my Traveler's Map that I made. It is fun to have a map on display that I get to continue to add pins to every time I go somewhere new. When I look at the map, it makes me happy and excited to travel to new places.

I have been really into checking things off my bucket list in the last few years. One day I got this idea...

I have had these frames laying around for a while that I have been trying to decide what to do with. I no longer like the color of wood on the frame, so I have not wanted to hang it.

My idea? To paint the frame, take out the class and, like my map, make another functional decor piece! I wanted to display my Bucket List and check it off as I accomplish them. Some of them are already accomplished and many are not. I went to the craft store and found some things that I thought would be great for my craft.

First, I took out the glass and painted the frame a thin coat of black so that a little bit of the wood showed. I then put the letters on the frame for "Bucket List". Then I Covered the back with a few different types of scrapbook paper. Then I added a piece of twine with a key on it. I also found some other scraps to add to make a collage type feel to it. I then printed my bucket list in a fancy font, cut it out, brushed it with a tea bag (to give the old look) and burned the edges. Once I put that on, there was still some space that I needed to fill, so I thought it would be cute to do the photo booth thing. Each picture of me holding signs saying I love my life. This was done with a phone app.

All done! I love how it turned out. Not everyone needs to display their Bucket List in their home, but I do think that everyone should have a Bucket List.  Another craft done. Another decoration made. It is now being displayed next to my map.
