Drumroll Please: And the Winner of Our “You Pick the Brit Kit” Is…
Last month, we asked all of you to help us choose a brand new Brit Kit to feature in our shop. Not only did you give us some great advice, but a whole bunch of you agreed on what the next kit should be: State-Shaped Memo Boards! And guess what? You can now buy a kit that includes everything you need to create these adorable memo boards over in the Brit + Co. shop. And since we love hearing from you, we’ve rounded up another 20 projects to choose from for another new Brit Kit. More on that in a minute.
First, about our new State-Shaped Memo Boards Kit.
This kit will help you create color-dipped state-shaped memo boards to pin up all your favorite photos, cards, and more.
<br/>
– 3 pieces of cork board
– 1 Xacto knife
– 3 bottles of acrylic paint
– 1 foam brush
– 1 Brit + Co. pencil
We even created a printable template of all 50 states (download here) so you can find the three states that are most special to you. These also make great gifts for just about any occasion.
Now, time to figure out the next new Brit Kit! Like last time, we’ve rounded up 20 of our favorite DIY in order to turn your favorite one into a Brit Kit!
