Here are two initial plaque type things I've made for Christmas gifts this year.... shhh... don't tell. :) I'm swearing everyone to secrecy!
These would probably be the main feature of my etsy store.... if I ever get around to it! Ha ha!
Thought I would share this though for those who want to make their own.... just a simple plaque painted with scrapbook papers glued on. Distressed and coated. Super easy... just time consuming to let each coat dry... I like to paint the backs of them so they looked finished too.

Very cute letters! I love the black and white!
ReplyDeleteVey pretty and a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog!!
These look great!! I have done this a couple times with similar plaques and can never get the paper just right -- do you measure and cut the paper or do you put in on and then use an x-acto knife? Does that make sense? :)

ReplyDeleteI cut the paper a little larger than the plaque and adhere it. Once the glue dries, I just sand the edges of the paper off. I got the idea from Joys of Home blog to sand the edges of the paper so it's just the right size. Works like a charm!
Oooohhh! Your initial plaques turned out great! Isn't Joy the best? I got that idea from her too. Sanding the edges off the paper works like magic...LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteOh, those are great. I love the designs.
