Fancy Wood Family Photo!

 

I had a bunch of extra MDF board in the garage 

when we rented the house...

FREE right?

I used newspaper as a pattern.

folded it in 4th's and then cut the curly edge I wanted.

Laid it on my board and traced it.

 So I used the bandsaw to cut the awesome edge on the boards.

Then I used the router to give it a finished edge.

You could just sand it smooth!

 I had a heck of a time getting these pictures printed.

Walgreens wouldn't let me pick up the pictures I uploaded

 and sent to their store online...they said I needed PROOF 

that they weren't copyrighted. 

I was 30 minutes from home and told them I 

wasn't going to come back if I left.

They were so rude and refused to sell me 

the already printed pictures.

I left in a huff.

I uploaded the pics to Walmart and went and

 picked them up an hour later.

No problem!

 I set out plastic bags for a drop cloth...free right?

 I painted only the top and edges with that white paint 

I got for another project for 50 cents!

 After it dried, I sanded the edges just a tiny bit.

And used spray adhesive and a brayer to adhere

 the picture to the white side of the board.

 Put some hanging hardware on the back.

2 screw eyes and a wire.

Lovely.  I love it!

This was my Mother's Day gift to myself!

 Thanks to my friend, Jodi for taking the pictures 

that were too professional for me

 to buy at Walgreens!  :)
