Brag Board Tutorial

I decided to make a tutorial for the couple of people who asked about this - here goes:


Supplies needed:
1x8 piece of pine (mine is cut to 16 in. for this one - the first one I made was 20 in)
Mod Podge
Paint
3 sheets of coordinating scrapbook paper - 2 for the board 1 for the clothespins
Ink pad
Paper Trimmer
Sponge Brush
Hot glue gun
Vinyl Lettering


 Step 1: Paint the edges and back of your sanded board


Step 2: While the paint is drying cut 2 sheets of scrapbook paper to fit the front of the board - these were 7 3/4 in. x 8 in.


Step 3:  Apply mod podge to the front of your board


then smooth your paper on


Make sure to get out any wrinkles or bubbles - let that dry.


Step 4: Distress the edges with a coordinating ink pad - I used a dark brown.


Step 5:  Apply a layer of mod podge over the top to seal it.


Step 6:  While your board is drying - trim coordinating paper to cover clothespins.  I used 4 for this size of board.

then mod podge the paper onto your clothespins.


Step 7: Add your vinyl brag board lettering


Step 8: Glue the clothespins onto the board using a hot glue gun.  I spaced mine every 4 inches.
Then add a hook to the back so you can hang it on the wall.


DONE!

  2. This is on my "to craft" list too. It's such a great idea. Thanks for the tutorial. I forgot to tell you that I started a craft blog just as a place to keep track of my many projects... Nothing special, but you can check it out if you want. I also have a link to it on my main blog.
