For this project you will need: a piece of unfinished wood, a wooden letter, spray paint, decorative paper, and spray adhesive.
Step 1~ Spray your piece of wood and letter with the spray paint. I used black paint. Make sure you spray the back if it's going to be in a place where it might be seen!
Step 2~ When the paint is dry you are ready to apply the paper. Cut your paper to fit the front of the wood. Spray the paper with the adhesive and place on wood. Then use adhesive on back of letter to place the letter on top of the paper. You can also sand the edges of the paper a little to give it more of an antiqued look.
And then you will have this...
This was SO easy and a very quick project. I spent $4.99 for the adhesive, 50 cents for the paper, 59 cents for the wood, and 99 cents for the letter.
Please share with me your finished projects and then also share it with Joy over at Joys of Home because all this week she is having show and tell!
Also, here are a few highlights from our anniversary yesterday...
We went to the Hammel House in historic Waynesville, Ohio for lunch. Steve had a rueben sandwich and I had a turkey florentine sandwich. It was delicious!
After lunch, we did some shopping. I've really been wanting one of these...
I've seen these in other antique stores and they have been at least $40. This one cost $9.95. Maybe next year I'll go for the jewelry:)
That evening we went to an Italian restaurant and finished the night off with a movie. I can't even remember the last time Steve and I saw a movie! It's a good thing we passed on the dessert because when we got home this is what was waiting for us from Jessica, Sam and Ben...
I'm impressed with the cake! You are so crafty with your P! Oh, and I like the scale too!

Oooooo! I'm envious of your scale. I've been looking for one for some time, but either someone picks it up before I do, or it just doesn't have the look I'm going for.
ReplyDeleteThat is one stunning 5 minute project! I like the smaller letter and the harlequin paper! Great Job!

You did great on your project! Happy Anniversary and yum on the cake!!

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary - the pic of you and your hubby is beautiful, and your project is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI like the paper you chose. Very pretty! And your cake. YUM! It looks so delish!!
ReplyDeleteI love the P, and your cake looks soooo good. Our ten year anniversay is this December so I need to think of something special. Ok, I really like your hair, I'm tring to grow mine out to do something cute like yours.
ReplyDeleteYou did such a nice job on your Joy- inspired monogram! Very nice! I love Waynesville - what a nice place to go for your special celebration! You are I don't live too far from one another! I have a similar old scale - much more used and abused, but I love it and use it a lot for canning weights, etc. Right now it has a wonderful yellow pear on it, lending it a bit a class!
ReplyDeleteI love that project!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! Your family is precious!
