List of Materials:
wooden plaque
image, cut to size (mine is 3" round)
ModPodge
sponge brush
hardware for hanging
embellishments (I used ribbon)
scissors and a hammer (not pictured. ours is too ugly:)
Pick an image to use. I chose Lost in Music (check her out here) and gave her two coats of ModPodge last night. This morning I cut her out. The diameter is 3" and fits perfect on my plaque's flat space.
Attach your hardware. It is pretty simple. But, when you place your image on the front, make sure it lines up with how you attached your hardware on back. I forgot to do that, and had to re-attach my hardware at the end. My girl hung sideways...opps;)
Apply your image to the plaque's surface.
Add your prettiest embellishments. I think paper flowers always look sweet, but a ribbon looked simple and perfect for this little chick. (EEK! Ignore the nails. So need to paint them!)
You're done! Now hang her up and enjoy!!
I love these little plaques. They look super cute grouped in three's, too! Pick your favorite images and create a super sweet display on a little girl's bedroom wall, a craft space, or even hand them out as gifts!
And now for the picture of the day.....
Leave a comment-- tell me your favorite new Sassy stamp image...And one of you will win my plaque:). (International girls can play along, too...) And have a great Saturday!! xoxo
Fabulous idea to make a plaque!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite image today, yes they do change with each new release, is Butterfly Girl. I love the look on her face, those big eyes and sweet cheeks! I just HAD to ink her up first and she is divine!

Lost in Music is my favourite...reminds me of my nine year old. I love to just peek my head around her door and watch her while she is listening to music...and sometimes even singing along.

What a neat project idea Krista!! My favorite is Butterfly Girl...I have a weakness for butterflies,lol. I'm currently working on a project with her myself and it should be going up Wednesday. I think DD's room is going to be covered in Sassy's lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the share

Oh' I almost forgot, I put my poor son in a dress just a couple of months ago as filler for a flower girl who couldn't make it...it was pretty hilarious! They better behave when they get older...

ReplyDeleteThis release is fab...I love them all, but my number one is Butterfly girl...love her expression and her hair!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of the kids!
Hi Krista,
ReplyDeletefab pics - my wee brother had a thing for wearing my old dresses when we were kids, but he burned them all because we threatened to put one of the pics in the local newspaper for his 21st birthday.
I liked Butterfly Girl first, but after seeing Strike a Pose coloured up I think she might be my new favourite.
have a great weekend

Your children are so full of joy & fun - just delightful to see children being children. Love the plaque - especially the way you've used pink & orange together. As to my favourite - Strike a Pose nearly got knocked off the NO 1 spot by City Girl but she kept her place. Have rather a lot to get through at present but I am gathering these recent releases of yours & particularly like these older girls. Do take care of that pulled muscle.
ReplyDeleteMuch love & thanks for all you do & inspire.

Hi Krista, I love your cute little plaque and your colour combo is gorgeous. The pics of the kids is awesome and it will certainly come back to haunt him sometime when he's older lol! I think my fave image from the new release is butterfly girl. Hugs, Denise x
ReplyDeleteLovely pics - they look like they had great fun Krista! Brings back memories of 40 odd years ago when I used to do the same! Your plaque is stunning - my fav has gotta be Hippy Chick but have just received set 9 so that may change very soon - just discovered I have no UMount to put them on - baa humbug!! AH well that menas a craft shop trip - oh dear my card will be worn out! Happy crafting, Sheila:)X
