Kappa Alpha Theta gift set
August 10th, 2009 by Sorority Gifts-

Here is the latest Kappa Alpha Theta gift set just in time for fall rush. This set is selling for $11 with shipping under $5.
This is Kappa Alpha Theta best sorority gift buy this week. It won't last long. (I did not make this set. It is listed on ebay)
For any Kappa Alpha Theta crafters, you can make a plaque like the one shown in the picture.
You need:
1. a wooden plaque ( craft stores or Walmart)
2. black and yellow acrylic paint
3. quality paint brush for painting the Greek letters OR a yellow paint pen
4. 1 foot of yellow ribbon.
5. OPTIONAL: Clear Acrylic Spray (Krylon makes a good product)
Paint the yellow edge first. Then add a second coat of paint to the yellow. Let it dry.
Now paint the black. Very carefully paint the black edge against the yellow that is already dry. You will probably need another coat of black also.
When you are happy with the background, then add the greek letters. (I would practice this one paper first with a felt tip pen to get the size and look you want. With graphite paper you can trace the basic design on to the plaque so that you have something to go by when you start painting) You need a very good brush to do letter detail nicely. A paint pen is a good option if you are not used to painting detail.
You will probably need a second coat of paint for the letter.
When completely dry:
Optional: spray with Clear Acrylic Spray (protects like varnish)
Decide how much ribbon you want for a hanger. On the back side of the plaque make to fingernail sized puddles of Elmers White Glue, each about 1 inch on the left and on the right of the back top center of plaque. Make sure that the glue is under and over the ends of the ribbon. LET THE GLUE DRY OVERNIGHT.
That's it!!
The Kappa Alpha Theta journal is another item you can make yourself. The trick is to find a journal in the right color and if you like the one in the picture, you might be able to find one like it with the slide slot. Then all you have to do is use some scrapbook paper (or any high quality paper) to make a Kappa Alpha Theta tag.....easy to do since you can work at it on paper until you like it. If you can't find a yellow journal with a slide slot, just see what IS available and be creative with what you can find.
Here are some Sorority Notebooks that you can paint yourself. These were on folder notebooks, but simple painting can be added to any kind of notebook for a nice touch.
