While I was at the hardware store I saw a big bin of scrap wood for only 75 cents a peice! I thought they would be perfect for this project, so I bought a few. Here's what you'll need:
Flat Wood Pieces
Fine Grit Sand Paper
Clean Rag
Modge Podge
Paint Brush
Printer/Computer
White Tissue Paper
Embellishments
Hot Glue Gun
Here's how I created my wood plaque...
Print out your photos onto tissue paper. Here's the easiest way I found to get your photos to
print out nicely onto the tissue paper:
Cut a piece of tissue paper
Tape the tissue paper onto an 8.5X11 piece of copy paper
Run it through the printer (I have a top loading printer which worked perfectly)
Cut the photo out from the tissue paper and set aside
Now it's time to get your wood piece all ready...
Lightly sand any rough edges of the piece of wood
Give the wood a good wipe over with a clean rag
Arrange your cut out tissue paper pictures onto your prepped piece of wood
LIGHTLY brush your glue medium over your photos on the wood. Be very gentle as they will easily tear on the wood. Let dry and embellish with ink, buttons and ribbon.
Happy Creating,
Melissa
