Art Project

I decided to be crafty and make something for K & C's room.  The reason I decided to do this is the fact that I am  SO sick of picking up coats & backpacks up off the floor!!  The boys can't reach our coat rack so they figure throwing their stuff on the floor is the next best thing.

Plus, they needed something decorative on their walls.

I've never used Mod Podge before, but I gave it a try & loved it.  It was really easy & I thought it turned out pretty nice.

                     I already had some scrap booking paper that I really liked.

Then, with a quick trip to Hobby Lobby I found the rest of my materials. 
Wooden plaque for $1.99 each.
Wooden letters, $.99 each

I already had some brown craft paint.  I used it to paint the edges of my letters & plaque.

Let the Mod Podging begin.  I used Mod Podge to glue the paper to my letters & plaques and then I let it dry for 15 minutes.  After that I gave all of them a coat of Mod Podge and let them dry.

Finished project.  I hot glued the letters to the board and then screwed in the hanging hooks.

Hanging on their wall. No more coats of the floor, please!!!!
