Writing on the Wall or the Closet
I was recently watching Once Upon a Time on Netflix and on the first episode they show a glimpse of Emma's front door and it was awesome! I wanted to copy it, and then the day after I stumbled upon this tutorial on how to do it at applestone drive.
I wanted to make it unique and special to us and I made my husband choose the song. He chose Whatever You Like by TI. He tried to choose another song afterwards that had prettier lyrics or whatever but I had never heard it before and would rather a song that we actually know, even if it is a hip hop song!
I used masking tape to make my lines so that there was less pencil to erase, and I found that alcohol on cotton balls takes off the pencil really well if you mess up. (It also takes sharpie off really well too)
I thought it turned out ok but if I were to do it again I would leave the masking tape on there for the entire time (I took it off after I pencilled everything in.) I also probably wouldn't waste my time pencilling anything on, I was trying to copy another font but in the end it turned out alot like my handwriting is usually. I also wish I had written a bit smaller.

I just noticed Emma's door last night. I love your closet! Now, what can I write on?
Thanks! Write on anything with a surface :)
I still need to watch the last episode, I'll have to pay special attention to Emma's door now! :) Great job!
It was only on the first episode, when she was in Boston. Thanks for checking out my closet doors!
It looks awesome and great idea about using the masking tape for lines. Magic Erasers also work great to remove pencil (and sharpie, too!) Wonderful job!!
Thanks so much!
that's such a neat look, and you can write something totally personal. love it.
Thanks for stopping by!
It's really cute.... I love lyrics written out. So personal...
