Weddingbee boards

Just wanted to share with you all my latest project.  It's also posted on the DIY section as well as my blog. (more details here)

They're completely unnecessary, but way too cute to pass up.

I just used two wooden plaques I bought at Hobby Lobby, some acrylic paint, and a crackle medium.  Super quick and easy!  They'll hang from the back of our chairs with ribbon that needs to be attached.

Check out my blog for the full post!!

Thanks guys!! I'm really happy with the way they turned out =]

@littlemissmoo....you could always make them anyways and then hang them up somewhere around the house.  I think I'm going to put ours in our bedroom afterwards hanging on each side of the bed.

@RAllise....if you take out the drying time, because you can do other stuff then, it probably only took me about 20 minutes to do these.

what did u use to paint the letters so perfectly? a stencil??

Thanks guys!

@alishadhs4 I actually free handed them, I guess I don't have any tips, it's just something I've always been good at.  You could try to make a stencil by printing out the letters and trimming around them maybe?

@Ms.Guava-Tini I bought it for maybe $3.00 at Hobby Lobby, it comes in a 4 oz bottle.  But I've also bought another brand at Walmart and it worked just as well.  At Walmart it was maybe $1.50 or so, and it came in the same size as all their other acrylic paints. (2 oz bottle)....Hope this helps!  I wouldn't get the fancy stuff because this works just fine.  You paint the bottom color, let it dry.  You paint the crackle stuff (clear) and let it dry.  Then whatever color you paint over top of it will crackle.

wow you hand painted that? thats amazing! great job. i, on the other hand, will have to figure something else out lol

LOVE IT!!! i want to make some now but my writing SUCKS!!.. Im wondering if Michaels sells those wood plagues.. since there isn't a Hobby Lobby in California

@jaylovessteez .... Michael's does have them, and so does JoAnn Fabrics
