Seasonal Love Board















Fun little project that totally put me in the mood for Thanksgiving dinner. mmmm!

Items used:
Wood Board (Better to pick a longer one to fit more photos)
Acrylic Paint (Tompte Red, Espresso on the edges and clothespins)
Small clothespins
Thin Wire
Tack Pins
Shimmer White Jigsaw Letters
Sand Paper (I couldn't find ours, so I used an extra nail file)
Hot glue gun

I didn't take many photos of the work in progress, unfortunately.
First, I sanded down the edges until somewhat dull, wiped off the dust, painted the board and clothespins, and let dry. Then I attached the letters with a hot glue gun and attached the wire to the back of the board by wrapping it around the tack pins that I hammered on.















I was thinking of putting up green clothespins in a few weeks to give it a Christmas feel. :) It is the perfect set-up to be able to post pictures of the people you love, and in our case: family.

Thank you Crafting Chicks for the inspiration!
