Hunger Games Sign

I shared this tutorial last week as a part of the Hunger Games Series over at Rae Gun Ramblings. I now I get to share it over here.I know the Hunger Games has already been released but you can still make this fun sign as a tribute to the book and movie!

When Marissa asked for guest bloggers to participate in her totally awesome Hunger Games series I jumped at the chance! Some people say I'm a little obsessed interested in the Hunger games and I was so excited to be apart of this series. 

So I'm here to show my new Hunger Games sign. Here's what you'll need:

-Paper

-This Hunger Games Font

-Exacto Knife

-Burlap

-Foam Board

-Orange, Black, and Yellow Paint

To start off-use the Hunger Games Font and print off whatever saying you want to use. Then using your Exacto knife cut out the letters.

Then cut out your burlap into shapes you want to use on your banner-I just went with the traditional square. Using the template and black acrylic paint, paint the letters on the burlap. 

I really love to embrace the imperfections in my projects. For example-I accidentally did the M a little close to the side but don't mind how it turned out.

Then to step it up a notch-I took some foam board I had on hand and used a mixture of yellow and orange paint. This part was a lot of fun-once again I didn't really want it to be perfect and I loved expressing my "abstract artist side". Okay let's be honest-I don't have an abstract artist side but it was fun anyway.

Then I took my burlap banner and just taped the banner onto the foam board. I like to think that the orange and yellow look kind of like fire-you know, to go along with the whole Girl on Fire thing. 

This awesome banner is now hanging out in my craft room-inspiring me every day. 

I loved being apart of Marissa's series and if you haven't yet you should go check out her Hunger Games Link Party.
