Noel Banner tutorial

First things first, I didn't take that gorgeous picture up there, or the gorgeous one below. Felipe of Petruzzo Photography just took our holiday pictures, and he took these for us. I made the banner for the photo shoot. I can't wait to put it up for the holidays! I am not really that crafty, this was just a little Modge Podge, ribbon, wood boards, sealing spray, and craft paint. But I love the way it turned out! The wooden boards are from Pick Your Plum, follow the link to win a Plumbox. They were just blanks, but cut out and pre-drilled with holes.
I'd love to know if you make this, or what you think of it, leave me a comment and let me know!

Noel Banner Tutorial

Wood blanks with holes- any shape you want

Printed papers- links are below

Modge Podge

Craft paint- brown, gold, black, and a Staining Antiquing Medium

Ribbon

Krylon sealing spray

Brushes or sponge brushes

 Print out the papers.

 Rip the papers to fit, or cut them in the shape of the board. Apply Modge Podge to the back of the papers with a paint brush or sponge brush. Paste them on to the wood board. Let this dry before applying the letters on top with Modge Podge.

 Once all the pieces have dried, brush them all lightly with Modge Podge. Let them dry.

Mix a little brown, black, gold, and Staining Antiquing Medium. Or any colors you want. The letters were on bright white back ground and the Christmas papers were an antiqued brown so I decided to make it match a bit more. Brush on the paint and then gently wipe it off to antique it.
Let the boards dry. Spray them with Krylon to seal. Attach ribbon.
