I use the term "tutorial" loosely here, lol. I put these buffalo plaid Christmas decorations together the other day and snapped a couple of pics in the process.
Wood Plaque Supplies:
1. Buffalo Plaid printable art from my Etsy shop. This works best if printed on a laser printer so that the Mod Podge doesn't smear the print. However, if you don't have a laser printer you can either spray it with acrylic sealer first or have it printed at Kinko's. 2. A scrap piece of wood about .75 inches thick, sanded and stained, mine measured about 9x11.5 3. Mod Podge water base sealer. 4. Acrylic sealer. 5. Mod Podge brayer, I can't emphasize what a difference having this tool makes so that the print doesn't wrinkle or bubble when you apply the Mod Podge. 6. Use the steps in this youtube video (made by the kind folks at Mod Podge ) to apply the paper to the wood. Mod Podge is sometimes a little tacky to the touch even after it dries, so you can finish it all off with acrylic sealer if you want to.
Wood Slice Ornament Supplies:
1. Buffalo Plaid printable collage sheets from my Etsy shop. 2. 2 inch punch...see photo below. 3. Wood slices. I procured mine via a "honey-do" list...however, I have seen them on Amazon and I imagine you could get them at a craft store. 4. Mod Podge, Acrylic sealer and brayer (same as above). 5. Ribbon or twine of your choice. 6. Follow the instructions above...trust me and watch the video!
This Fiskars Squeeze Punch makes cutting out the circles so easy! Center the image you are punching and squeeze to punch it out.

I added a new section to my Etsy Shop today! "Lumberjack" I'm digging all of the Buffalo Plaids in nursery decor lately and I can't wait to put together a mood board....but until then here is a little preview of what's new in my shop. :)
Is there anything more fun that decorating a baby nursery? I'm a sucker for pink florals paired with stripes. I jumped on Amazon for a minute today and put together some deocr ideas for a baby girl woodland theme nursery. Adorable and affordable! I like home decor that coordinates, but that is not so *matchy matchy*...a collected look.
The Woodland Nursery Prints from my Etsy Store are an instant download; so fast and easy to print and frame at home. I'm also in love with this pennant from Amazon. I love how it coordinates with the floral blanket and crib sheet, but that it's not a matching set. Who says you need one of those over priced "crib sets"? No way! You can't use the blankets anyway! The pink striped rug adds another pop of pink and goes great with this textured lamp. Throw some toys or blankets in the striped storage basket and you are ready to go! Woodland Girl Nursery for under $150! See the other Baby Girl Woodland Nursery Prints that I have available in My Etsy Store here and below. Some of the prints can be personalized with baby's name and birth year ("established date"). How fun would they be for a baby shower gift!? The pictures are linked to my store (because I'm just that nice ;-) All of these little critters from the forest are putting me in the mood for some s'mores and a big old round of Kumbaya....which can only mean one thing: I'm off to the pantry to steal a handful of chocolate chips! |
