Use left over scraps of wood and any collected shells to make a nice plaque for your walls. Also uses craft paints, stencil, and tile grout.
Approximate Time: Can be done in one day, but might take 2 days
Supplies:
- Shells
- boards or thin fiber board
- Craft Paint
- Grout
- stencil pattern
- Hot glue gun/or wood glue
- picture hangers
Instructions:
This can be made any size and shape you would like. Start with small pieces of thin wood, or fiberboard.
Decide what size you want to make the plaque and what size for the small pieces that the shells will be mounted on.
Paint the base plaque with a fast drying craft paint. Paint the smaller pieces of wood with another color paint.You can make it look rustic by sanding off some of the painted areas, or use a crackle finish.
If you want to make a decorative boarder on any of the wooden pieces do this before they are glued together.
Use some tile grout and spread it over a stencil pattern, pull of the pattern carefully and let the decoration dry.
Glue the Shells onto the smaller pieces of wood, then glue these pieces onto the larger piece of wood. Use whatever type glue will work for you.
Put any type of picture hanger on the backside of the plague
