First you will need some supplies:
thin sheet of balsa wood
white acrylic paint
chalkboard paint
sharpie paint markers
embroidery thread
tiny buttons
Step 1: Measure out 2" x 2" squares on your balsa wood and then cut each square in half.
I ended up with 16 triangles and only needed 11.
Step 2: Primer with 2 coats of white acrylic paint.
Step 3: Paint 2 to 3 coats of chalkboard paint. Let dry and then punch holes in each corner.
Step 4: Decorate edges with Sharpie markie.
Step 5: Use a needle and embroidery thread to weave in and out of the punched holes and buttons to connect.
Step 6: Write message.
Step 7: Hang and Enjoy!
That is a great idea! What do you use to cut the balsa wood and punch the holes?
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa! I used regular scissors to cut the balsa wood and I have a teeny tiny hole puncher from Martha Stewart(I tried to use a regular hole puncher and it did not work).
