Modge Podge that Agenda

So my OSU ladies....Have you gotten your Mortar Board yet?  If you don't know what that is, it's an agenda that the amazing people at Mortar Board put together that already has all of the important dates and happenings at OSU typed in!  Awesome? Awesome.

But now we have a conundrum....every mortar board looks the same.  Crap.  Wait what's that you say?  I can decorate it all on my own?  Heck yes you can.  And here are some ways you can make your mortar board unique.

What do you need:
1.  A MORTAR BOARD (or any store bought agenda)
2.  Any crafting supplies you can get your hands on (scrap book paper, fake flowers, jewels, stickers, ribbon, you name it)
3.  Modge Podge
4.  Paint brushes
5.  An imagination

Here are some inspiring photos to spark your imagination:




This is what you need to do/incorporate into your agenda:
1.  Layer, layer, layer
2.  More is better
3.  Pick a color theme and then choose details in those colors

Here are some techniques:
1.  Do a rip collage.  What is that?  You rip chunks of paper, layer them, and it makes a cute collage
2.  Be bold with buttons, beads, braided ribbon or string
3.  Print out your favorite quote and stick it on there
4.  Don't forget your name!  Either print it, write it, draw it, or do magazine clippings of letters

Here are mine and my roomies!  Love them!



Yay!  Now go forth and hodge podge.  Happy first day of school my fellow Oklahoma Staters!
