How to make Word Art Pictures

It's so easy to do!

Word Art pictures seem to be taking over this season.  Everywhere is stocking them.  And for quite a while it's been really bugging me.....   How on earth do you do them?

I've found a few different apps, but nothing has been quite what I wanted.  Today I've found it!

Prepare to be lost in the world of TAGXEDO  - where you can make up a word picture out of just about anything.    There are a host of shapes to choose from, or you can upload your own.  You can even do words.  With a wide choice of text and a host of colour templates to pick from - you may be lost some time!  If you don't want a shape, you can have a word "cloud".  By jiggling around with the controls, you can totally change the appearance.  I have been lost there for most of the afternoon.

Best of all, as you create a picture you are happy with you can save as a jpg image in a variety of sizes - even big enough to print on an enormous canvas.  (I have plans!)



My sewing themed heart above has been printed onto movable wall sticker printer paper from Crafty Computer Paper   I've had it for ages, and finally got around to giving it a go.  Loving it!  Printed beautifully on auto setting, was easy to cut - and sticks to the wall perfectly.  And it's movable!  I know it said it was on the packet, but often these things are nothing like they should be.  This moved from one wall to another with no trouble whatsoever.  Brilliant for adding decor to a plain wall....  I'm already thinking a few pretty birds will look fab..... somewhere!


Here's how the images look when you download them.  This is another wall sticker that I have made for my bedroom.  Although it doesn't look that clear here, it has printed out perfectly - and looks great on the wall.

I can think of so many uses for this app.  Printing on fabric...... labels......  oh - I could keep myself busy wording around for quite some time!


In fact, I have to keep coming back to the post as I have made something else!  This time a (sort of) cupcake shaped wall sticker for the kitchen. I've cut around the shape, and I'm jolly pleased with how it looks on the wall.  I did take a photo of it on the wall, but the yellow would have blinded you!  It's not pleasant, and is on my list of things to be changed as soon as.

When you first go into the app. it's a bit confusing what to do.  I suggest starting with the control box on your left and working your way down, one at a time.  You'll soon get the hang of it.  The box that says load is where you type in your text - and then have fun creating. 

What are you going to make?

    1. It's great fun. I think I'm going to draw a cupcake shape and fill it in with baking words next for the kitchen.

Shabby Chic? Definitely Shabby!

I did say I'd share my DIY disaster with you...... Brace yourselves - you may need sunglasses: Snort!  When I started the makeover I can assure you this wasn't my intention.  I had a 70's dressing table that was a nice shape, but a vile wood.  I thought I would transform it by painting it fuchsia to match my bedroom.  10 hours later (2 coats undercoat, 3 topcoat) it was looking good.  Until the top coat starting to flake off before my eyes.  I could have cried - indeed I think I did. Since then it's been sitting in the bedroom annoying me.  It's too heavy to lift out on my own, and anyways I've nothing else to replace it with.  The thought of starting to paint it again doesn't bear thinking about.  So in a DIY frenzy, I attacked it with wire wool. I think I got a bit carried away!  The result is something that gives a whole new meaning to shabby chic.  However, at least it looks intentional and boldly scruffy.  An...

Autumn Giveaway Time

I'm more than a trifle ticked off with Blogger. My post of yesterday has vanished into thin air during the day - and I haven't been near a computer. It was the first time I'd entered a post using the new interface, and I was liking the way it worked. Shame I didn't try a short post first, but no...... dibble decided to do a long article didn't she! Sniff. Back to the old Blogger me thinks. Anyways... I was thinking that it's been such a dismal few days - why not think of something to brighten the mood. Why not have a little giveaway? Trying to be a little different - I've come up with a little competition. It's quite simple....... How many buttons in the jar? I've no idea myself, so it will be interesting to find out. To give you something on which to base your guess, I can tell you I am able to hold the little jar comfortably in one hand. Also I have used a few of the buttons so the jar isn't quite full. So.... What do y...

Don't get Shirty!

My blog posts have been lacking the last few weeks.  This is due to moving home and trying to sort out the chaos.  One of the things required was that hubby thin down his clothing, or there would be no room for any of mine in the fitted wardrobes.  At the last count he had well over a hundred shirts.  Ridiculous.  Under strict instructions to free up half the wardrobe space for me, he set to with bin bags, to turf some out for the charity shops. With a large selection of shirts ousted, I started looking at the fabrics and wondered if I could make use of them myself.  There's a surprising amount of fabric in a mans shirt, particularly an XL one. After cherry picking the ones that were all cotton and nice fabrics, I sat down and scratched my head for inspiration. My first of two makes is this pillow.  When I began I had no real vision of what it was going to look like.  I just knew that I wanted to use some of the front pockets, and make a...
