On the minute Midweek of every calendar month a grouping of some of my favorite blogger friends together with I instruct together together with challenge each other to exercise a projection based on a detail topic or material. This month's topic was arts and crafts forest together with if you've been roughly this weblog for awhile together with hence yous know I LOVE Balsa wood. It's such a cracking craft/DIY production that is cheap together with tin easily last cutting amongst the swipe of a razor blade.

I've completed a few balsa forest projects inward the past times (faux specimen cabinet, organized cork board and file magazine holders) together with lucky for me I had enough fighting pieces laying roughly that I was determined to use. I was too determined to build something that was A. useful together with B. would build a cracking improver to our electrical current décor. I had no wishing to build something that would instruct thrown inward my arts and crafts cupboard to collect dust.

I wondered roughly my menage (which I tend to exercise when I'm bored together with looking for a project) together with decided that a few wire baskets could role some novel tags. A few years agone I updated the master metallic numbers amongst a picayune golden foliage Rub 'n Buff, but I was cook for a change.

Do yous all retrieve the vintage inspired signs I created dorsum inward July? They were hence slowly together with fun to exercise that I decided to role the same concept to exercise seat out tags for this months arts and crafts forest theme.

Here's What You'll Need:

Balsa wood
Elmer's letters
CeCe Caldwell wax together with aging dust (You tin role whatever brand, this is simply what I had on hand)
Wax Brush (you don't induce got to role a wax brush, but it is worth the terms if yous excogitation on waxing furniture)
Mod Podge
Elmer's Glue
Razer blade
Scrapbook paper
Double sided tape

The steps are super slowly together with yous tin induce got these tags done inward no time.

1. Cut the forest together with scrapbook newspaper to the desired size yous wishing your tags.

2. Glue the scrapbook newspaper to the wood.

3. Glue the seat out to the tags.

4. Apply wax over the front end of each tag.

5. Immediately brush on aging dust to give the tags a distressed look. (Apply generously roughly the edges)

I ended upwards using double sided record to attach my tags, but yous could ever drill a hole inward the run past times of each tag, add together jute together with hang them from a basket.

I beloved how they stand upwards out a chip to a greater extent than than the previous seat out tags!
