If you've read the update to my "I'm Outta Here" board that I made yesterday (you can read the original post and the update added here), you know that I messed up that board with Gorilla Glue. Here's a sample of the mess:
It was everywhere. I was so mad. I let it sit there for several days before I decided to do anything about it, because I knew it would not be an easy fix. Today, I finally decided to tackle it. After trying to cut away most of the seeped out glue with scissors and a knife, I was left with chipped paint and remnants of glue. I didn't know what to do. I decided to try to make borders around the frames that got messed up with ribbon, but wouldn't work well and would require a lot more gluing. So I went with duct tape. I had searched and searched for polka dot duct tape everywhere locally and couldn't find any. I was frustrated by that because there are some projects I wanted to use it on. But Saturday I scored at a Walmart about 30 minutes away. I bought 4 rolls. Then my husband told me today that he saw some at our local Walmart today. *sigh* Of course. It would happen that way. Anyway....
After a while of dealing with it, this is what I came up with. I added some polka dots to it, too, because I thought it was just too plain before. So here's the finished product (minus the arrow to be added once I get it to school) :
So, what do you think of it now?
I love the polka dots! How big is the finished board?
