ReplyDeleteThank you so much! My little boy is turning 5 and wants a super hero themed party; I love taking the DIY approach with all of the decor, so this will come in handy! The only question I have is: how do you get your text at a diagonal across the shape background?
ReplyDeleteWell, my son's superhero party is in a few days, so I've already finished all the decorations - wish I'd seen this before now! - but I still appreciate the tutorial! I had no clue whatsoever that it was this easy! I can use it for many other things in the future, so thank you!!
