For my project today I have altered a wooden house shaped plaque with
Simple Stories' "Story of Us" Collection and various ribbon/trim by May Arts.
Putting it all together was made quick and easy with the
9" Creative Station and other adhesives by Xyron.
9" Creative Station and other adhesives by Xyron.
I trimmed the edges of the pieces with either a 1/4" ribbon or pom pom trim by May Arts.
For the outer edge, I applied the 1/4" Doubled Sided High Tack Tape by Xyron and then
pressed the ribbon in place.
The pre-cut wood set also came with a folk art style heart that I covered in paper and then
embellished with chipboard stickers, enamel dots and cardstock stickers.
To the top I made a large bow with May Arts faux burlap ribbon.
I looped the ribbon back and forth and then cinched together at the center with twine.
To cover the twine, I used a large decorative brad.
The finished plaque makes a cute centerpiece for a wedding shower and then can be passed
along to the bride-to-be!
