Grandkids Make Life Grand

While perusing Pinterest one day I came across this really good idea:

Grandkids -make life grand. Picture holder wooden plaque 8"x24", routed edges with 5 clothes pins. on Etsy, $20.00 Grandkids plaque for all the great grandmas

I thought to myself that both my mom and Jeff's mom would really like this! So the crafting began. First I painted a wood board the colors that both ladies wanted. My mom wanted yellow and purple and Jeff's mom wanted tan and red.


Next I played around until I found the right size for the letters. Then I cut them out of vinyl on my handy-dandy Cricut:

I got some contact paper and lifted up the vinyl letters:

Then I lined the letters up on the wood and attached:

This is just me making sure that all of the edges are pushed down:

And viola! The words are finished!


To finish I added a ribbon on the back, ribbon flowers, and small clothes pins to hang pictures with. The final touch was adding pictures of the grandkids.

After making this Jeff and I decided that we really liked it...so I might be making something similar for ourselves!
