Monogrammed Wooden Plaque

Behold!

I have finished a project!

Yes, it's ok to think to yourself...

FINALLY!

I'm thinking the same thing!

It was so simple.

And it was fairly inexpensive

given the fact that I had almost

all the supplies.

Here is what I started with:

Mod Podge

Scrapbook paper

Metal Numbers

Wooden Initial

Craft Paint-Mountain Mud

Scraper (for the bubbles)

Foam Brushes

Furniture Nails

Heavy Duty Metal Clip

Distress Ink

Here's what I did:

I used the craft paint and painted the edge

of my wood piece. While it dried, I

painted my "K" also with craft paint.

I put Mod Podge on the front of the wooden plaque

and laid it face down on my scrapbook paper.

I turned it over and used my Scraper to

work out all the bubbles. While it dried,

I used Distress Ink to distress the K.

I placed the plaque on a cutting board face down

and cut out around it with an exacto. Being careful

not to rip the paper. I used a sanding block

to sand the extra paper off the edges.

I also distressed the edges with Distress Ink.

I added the metal numbers securing them

with furniture nails.

Lastly, I clipped the K to the

plaque with the metal clip.

Finished:

The 383 is my wedding date!

03.08.03

Also, my two favorite numbers.

All the supplies used (except furniture nails)

were purchased at 

Hobby Lobby so if you get lucky on

timing, you may be able to purchase

them all on sale.

Have a great day!

Thanks for stopping by!
