Bargain Bin Find

I found these wood triangles in the bargain box at the craft store for
.25 cents each, and thought that I NEEDED to do something with them!
I decided to make them into some cute decor for either a shelf or a table top

They were quite simple to do.  First I painted the sides with a cream colored craft paint, then I glued some scrapbook paper onto them.  I find that the easiest way to attach scrapbook paper onto wood is with a glue stick!!  You don't need to use any specialized wood glue, just a good ole' glue stick.  It works great!

After I glued the paper on (with a glue stick!!),  I sanded
so that there weren't any rough edges.

Now the fun part.  EMBELLISHING!  I decided to make a "birthday" decoration, complete with a homemade paper candle (i'll post that tutorial in the near future) a "home sweet home" decoration, and, since I have a little boy,
a decoration that wasn't so girly, a more "macho" decoration, which is still cutsie.  Which I glued a little clothes pin to it so that I could either attach one of his pictures to it, or in this picture, I have a little card that says "Cute".

Here they are:
