Letter Plaque

Wanna make a custom board with a lot of character?

Here's how...and the best part is it's easy AND fast. 
Best combo ever!

Supplies:

• 12x12 MDF Board {Note: Got mine @ HD in a 2'x2' sheet, I cut it down on a table saw.  HD can do this for you... $7 for the whole piece, works out to $0.88 when cut down to 12x12" squares.}
• 8" Wood Letter {Got mine @ Joann's on sale for $1.99}
• 12x12 Sheet of Scrapbook Paper {$0.59 @ Joann's}
• Acrylic Paint
• Paint brush
• ModPodge
• Gorilla Glue
• Ribbon {optional}
• Vinyl lettering {also options... free for me since I have a cutter!}

Step #1:

PAINT the outer edges of your square & your wood letter.

Step #2:

ModPodge scrapbook paper onto wood square

Step #3:

Glue wood letter onto wood plaque.  Let dry 1 hour.  {Putting weight on top is suggested!}

Step #4:

If you're using vinyl, apply after glue dries. {It's a personal preference but I put heavy weight on top of the plaque while it dries so I don't want it to mess up the lettering just in case!}

Distressing is optional as well but I love the look!

Step #5:

Enjoy! :) 

This project was so inexpensive that I was able to make 2... good thing because my friend is having TWINS! This matches her nursery perfectly :)

Total cost: $3.46
