Hopefully, this craft project will ease the pain of an empty house after all your children have returned to school. (snort)
It's simple and easy and can be made with stuff laying around your house. It's nothing you haven't seem before, and I highly doubt you need a tutorial for it, but, I love PicMonkey, so your stuck with a bunch of photos walking you through this terribly intricate craft that I'm sure you can't live with out.
Start with some paper (wrapping, map, construction, etc..., Mod Podge, and an initial letter (which you can sometimes find in the dollar bin at Target).
Trace the letter.
Cut it out.
Rub it in place.
Ta-da!
Place it on the mantel and continue to arrange your "back to school" mantel - COMING SOON.
(A ONE on the scale of 1-10 difficulty)

Ha! I started to feel so guilty after I read that first sentence. Then I read the (snort) and realized we are kindred spirits in the "Oh my goodness. It's going to be amazing when I have whole entire days of peace to get things done around here." mentality! I love a simple paper craft whether the kids are home or not too! Thanks for showing yours off!

Maps are such a great accent and they are so trendy! I love your easy project. This project would look wonderful in my guest room done with a map of our local area! Please stop by my blog and join in TUTORIAL TIPS AND TIDBITS, my weekly dyi linky going on now! Such a clever idea!
