12 Days of Christmas: DIY Christmas Wall Art
An easy project you can do in 10 minutes!
I've been thinking about this one for a while. Hobby Lobby had the cutest wall art for Christmas with different song lyrics and color schemes. Before I could get my hands on one, they sold out! So I decided to make it for the blog.
I'm a little surprised at the chosen song, since I really don't like snow! But it's such a happy song. My printable needs to be updated :/ my computer deleted the original jpeg and the one I'm using isn't the best. I'll redo a new one tomorrow so that you can use it instead if the resolution of this one is too low for your project. I was thinking of doing some more too, with different color schemes and song titles- so if you have any special requests, now is the time!
Creating the printable took a while, but if you're just going to print something pre-created off and do this project, it should take less than ten minutes (not including dry time!).

And lastly, used 3M spray adhesive to attach it to the wood. SO simple! You can also attach framing hardware ($2, hobby lobby) to the back of your plaque and hang it on the wall. (I made more printables here!)
Afterwards I decided to make it double sided. I flipped it over and painted the other side grey. I used another printable from the above link as well.

This time around, I rounded the edges with scissors to match the rounded silhouette of the back side.
To hang the plaque, I cut a length of 16 inches of ribbon. The ends were folded over and duck taped in place. I know it sounds odd, but I wanted to add more firmness so that the ribbon wouldn't tear once hung. I wasn't sure how glue would hold up.
Two upholstery tacks were hammered in over the ribbon to hold it in place. I thought they were more fun than nails or push pins.
