I made this craft for two reasons:
- I found this old hunk of wood
- I wanted to give my friends some advice
I chose a few words that I think are VERY important things two people need to keep a marriage strong. Instead of putting them into a card where it will get tossed and quickly forgotten, I crafted something with them!
What you will need:
-black acrylic paint and brush
-sand paper
-white cardstock
-print outs of words, monograms, and pictures
1. I simply took my piece of junk wood and painted it with acrylic black paint.
2. Distressed the edges.
3. Glued on some cardstock with a black and white collaged and some of my "advice words" to the wood.
4. Sprayed clear lacquer.

Cute! Great gift idea. I have a few weddings coming up at the end of the summer and something like this would be perfect. Visiting from Frugalicious Fridays. ~MakazHome.com

ReplyDeleteOK, how many people find a block of wood, want to give some advice, and come up with *this*??? You are so creative. I bet they love it. Thanks so much for linking up to Finished for Friday.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this. I think that those words were great choices. I really want to make one of these for my boyfriend; however, I have no idea where I could find a big hunk of wood like that. Hm....
