Today I would like to share one of my recent craft projects. The supply list is at the bottom.
I started with a hangable black metal piece of word art I bought at Hobby Lobby on sale for about $4. (step 1) It simply reads, “Love.” (Since I am a words person, I frequently like art and decorations made from words.)
Then I noticed that on this piece, the cursive script makes the V look a bit like a U. So that got me thinking. I had a premonition of a woman lying in bed at night and feeling alone and sad. At that moment, this verse came to me.
Whenever it’s dark and you’re feeling blue.
Remember there’s someone who always loves U.
So I spray painted the U white and let it dry. (step 2) Then I painted the U with glow-in-the-dark blue paint that I bought from Glow, Inc. (step 3) I had to use a fan brush (step 4) and hold a UV flashlight (step 5) while painting. It requires two coats, with drying in between. After the second coat was dry, I sprayed the U with polycrylic. (step 6)
Then I went to Kinkos to print my verse on cool heart vellum paper (step 7), which I also got from Hobby Lobby. I cut it up and punched a hole in it.
Then I attached the verse using a 13.5” piece of red ribbon. (step 8) And it’s done.
Using that same cool UV flashlight (which shines purple), I point it at the letter U which charges the glow paint.
When I look at the art in the daytime, I read LOVE. And when I turn out the light, I read U. Or together the secondary message is “LOVE U.”
Whenever it’s dark and you’re feeling blue.
Remember there’s someone who always loves U.
