When I was in high school, I decided that I wanted to play guitar. Naturally, I would be the female Clapton and I would wow everyone with my skills. So I got a cheap Yamaha and took a couple lessons (which I didn't enjoy and therefore quit) and started teaching myself the chords. A few years later, I upgraded to a beautiful Ibanez. I thought for a bit about selling the old Yamaha, but never really got around to it. Last year, when I was home for Christmas, I pulled the poor guy out of the closet and decided to do something a little more worthwhile with him. This was the result:
Basically, I used Mod Podge to attach the background fabric to the body of the guitar. Then I put on the letters, cut from scrapbook paper, as well as the rest of the decorations.
Now it hangs of the wall above my dresser. It was a really fun project and I think it turned out pretty well. I'd like to do another guitar (or maybe a mandolin or a banjo or a similar instrument) at some point.
