Hello, and Happy Monday, sweet readers! I’m here today to share a tutorial that showed up on Amy’s fabulous blog, Mod Podge Rocks, a couple of months ago. It’s an easy and versatile tutorial for some wall decor that would be perfect in your little one’s nursery or bedroom. It can easily be altered to match any decor, theme or color scheme. Let’s get started!
Materials:
wood plaque (I got mine from Michaels)
scrapbook paper
mod podge
ric rac or ribbon
craft paint
Step 1: Decide what image you’d like on your finished wall hanging. An animal, an initial, or even a silhouette would look fabulous. Draw your image onto your scrapbook paper. Can’t draw? No problem. Just do a search for whatever image you are looking for (in my case, “bird silhouette”), and you can copy or trace the image onto your scrapbook paper. It’s kinda hard to see, but here’s my bird drawn onto the paper…
As you can see, I drew my image onto the back of my scrapbook paper. This way, no pencil marks would show on my finished piece. Cut out your image.
Step 2: Next, paint your plaque, if desired. Now, you’re ready to mod podge!
Step 3: Apply a coat of mod podge to your plaque and apply your image. Once dry, add two more coats of mod podge to seal. Let dry.
Step 4: Hot glue a length of ric rac or ribbon around your finished piece.
And you’re done! I love how simple this piece is, and there really are a million ways to customize it to match your decor. I can’t wait to get this piece up in my children’s nursery!
Have a lovely day!
