Funny Hunting Decor!

My husband is a hunter, and he hunts up on my cousins property with her husband and my brother. I am out here this weekend to hunt with them for my first time! (in a tree stand) I found this fun quote on pinterest and thought I HAD to make a sign for her. I hopped right into my car and headed to Hobby Lobby. 

I bought:

A wooden plaque, a package of hunting theme stickers, and two packs of glittery gold alphabet stickers.

I also used some clear modge podge to seal all of the stickers in place at the end. 

 

Yes! That is really all you need! Oh and I used a sharpie to sign the back of it! ☺

 

I laid out how I wanted it to look, then just simple stuck the stickers on! When I had it put together how I wanted it to look, I took a sponge brush I had laying around the house and some clear mat modge podge, and I did one quick coat over the entire thing, to help the stickers stay on better!

Here is how it turned out! 

I also bought stuff to make one for our house as well!

My cousin thought it was hilarious and absolutley loved it! It is now on display in their living room! 

If you make one similar, or a version of your own please feel free to post a picture of your creation in the comments below! Or even tag #CVA on Instagram! 

DIY ~ Family Silhouette Plaques

I love our little family. 

This is such an easy craft and it is great because as our family grows, I can easily add to it!

  Here is what you need:   

1. printed pictures from a side view

2. wooden plaques or wood of some sort

3. colored paint (for plaque color)

4. black paint (for silhouettes) 

{ or a bold color would look fun too! }

5. scissors

6. matte Modge Podge

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

  Here is what I did... 

1. Bought wooded plaques

2. Took pictures of each of us

3. Printed the pictures

4. Painted the plaques silver (2 coats)

5. While those were drying, I took my time and cut out each picture

6. I painted each cut out picture

7. When those dried I used matte Modge Podge and put one solid coat on the entire plaque, then before it dried I very gently centered each picture on its own plaque!

8. I very lightly brushed a coat of the matte Modge Podge over the picture and the rest of the plaque. 

9. I let it dry!

tah-dah!! It was so simple and it turned out great!

I am planning on making a few more as gifts... what a great gift idea!

( however, I will use pictures of the people I am gifting of course! ☺ )

Here are a couple of extra photographs of the ones I did of us!
