Its no secret I LOVE printables! I use them all over my house and especially love to switch them out for the holidays. They are a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to switch up your decor. I love adding them to cute frames or clipboards but today I'm going to show you an easy way to to turn them into a piece of art for your home. Oh and the best thing is it can be temporary or permanent!
How cute are these!
You just need wood, stain or paint, your favorite printable, and a glue stick.
My printables were cut down to an 8"x10" and printed on cardstock. I used a 12"x8"x1" board. The Length doesn't matter (the 8"). The 12 inches wide is the important part oh and guess what they are not actually 12 inches! Mine is about 11 1/4 inches. I cut my boards every 9 inches so my final measurement is 11 1/4 x 9 inches. This will give you about a 1/2 inch edge all around.
Next I stained the sides and around the edges. I used Jacobean by minwax. Its my favorite color.
Then I used a glue stick (just a regular glue stick) and stuck it on my board. It will hold up well for quite a while. I've had mine for several months and I'm just now reglueing some of the edges that came loose. This is perfect for seasonal decor or if you don't want anything permanent. You can also use a spray adhesive and it will be more permanent.
