Craft Night At Our House!

We did a very simple, but pretty craft last night at our house.
Miss Amanda & Miss Emma made plaques...
And here are the details so that you are able to make one yourself!!!

First, I found a free printable in the net that I liked.
Printed it on photo paper, since there is a great likely hood
of print smearage (technical word!) when you print of plain ole paper.

Next, I cut down a scrap piece of 1x6 into 5x7 sized pieces.
I also sanded and drilled an angled hole in the back for hanging.

Next, the girls painted the edges of the board in a color
that they liked that coordinated with the color in the print.


They let the edges dry, and on to greater things!


One layer of modge podge to stick the print to the board.

Above, Emma's, Below, Amanda's

 After the print dried, well adhered to the board,
another coat of modge podge on top of the print and on the painted
sides sealed the entire thing.

I think they look just like a canvas print!
