Hi there, yes it's been too long since the last time I've done a post. So I thought I would share this sweet gift for Dad.
For this project, I purchased plain wood coat racks from a local Micheal's. Took them home and painted then with this super sweet saying.
What does Dad always seem to get as a gift? Well in our family it's TIES. So now he has a sweet place to put them. Take a look...
I originally saw this idea off, of course, Pinterest. The original blogger is Poppy's at Play (http://poppiesatplay.blogspot.ca/2011/06/fathers-day-gift-idea.html). She actually made her own tie hook and then used a vinyl decal.
I actually made these for the father's in our family for Christmas, and was busy making many other items too. I found it much easier to purchase a pre-made one. I painted the whole plaque with a tuape first and then with a cream colour. This allowed me to sand some of the edges and see a slightly darker shade through the top coat. Which gave a slightly more masculine (rustic) look.
I then painted the saying. I printed the saying in the required size on paper and traced it out with a pen, which left an outline guideline to go by when it was time to paint the letters. This trick helped a lot!
I also made a version for "Papa" and "Grandpa" which worked out super sweet as well!
Well that's all for now! Hope everyone enjoys their Father's Day! There will be another fathers day post to follow (I just need to give the gifts to the Dad's first and I don't want to ruin the surprise!).
Be Inspired...
