![]() The wood will split slightly when you hammer them in, but it’s completely unnoticeable in the front – and the item isn’t heavy enough to be truly concerned. Then I added two sawtooth hangers on the back. If I were to do it again, I would probably drill a small hole to help aid the cup hook in. I used pressure and pushed down until the cup hooks screwed into the house – but this was tough. I did this by measuring the length of my houses (which turned out to be 16 inches), and placing one every 4 inches. Then you can go over it with something more permanent – like paint marker.Īfter the paint marker dried, I added the cup hooks. This will transfer the pencil from the back of the paper onto your project. Using a bit of pressure, trace the quote. Then you flip the paper back over, positioning the quote exactly where you want it on your project and taping it down. Ever since then, I’ve wanted to pencil transfer everything.īasically, you just flip your image over and scribble pencil all over the back of the paper… Then I pencil transferred the quote to the dried houses.įunny thing is, I never knew what pencil transfer was until my sister did it for her college graduation cap a few years ago. I eventually settled on “family makes this house a home” and printed it out on regular printer paper. While the paint was drying, I searched online for a quote that I wanted. I went in and sanded this down with 220 grit paper so the paint would lay smooth. In the photo, you can see there’s a bit of a rough spot where we pulled the label from. Once the wood glue dried, Audrey got to painting! My idea sort of kept evolving, so there are certain things not pictured, and others that are pictured that we didn’t use.įirst, we laid out the houses in the order we wanted them to be, and wood glued them together.wood stain (I used Minwax Dark Walnut – not pictured).1/2 inch thick wood strips (not pictured).a black and red (not pictured) paint marker.print out with cute home-inspired quote (not pictured).Because I absolutely love the way my idea turned out. ![]() Like seeing these little wooden houses from their summer collection show up on practically everyone’s hauls, and wanting them so badly, we starting popping into every Dollar Tree in the area until we found them.īut it was so worth it. And more Dollar Tree DIYs.Īnd you can probably tell where this is going. Then we started watching Dollar Tree hauls. Until we were watching YouTube videos one night and just happened to stumble on some home decor videos using Dollar Tree products. Audrey and I officially have a new obsession.
