Wood Plaques<\/h2>\n

These Oval Plaques<\/a><\/strong> are perfect for so many projects! Our sample below was created by painting the plaque first with a watercolor wash, and then adding puff paint details.<\/p>\n

This laser cut wood Anchor Plaque\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>can be customized for all sorts of projects and themes! We used acrylic paints and our multi-surface markers<\/a> to create the “Hope Is My Anchor” design below.<\/p>\n

Inspirational Wood Art<\/h2>\n

Our double-sided wood plaques feature sayings on both sides! These Positive Vibe Plaques<\/a><\/strong> have “Choose Happy” on one side and “Good Vibes” on the other. The lettering is lightly laser burned so that you can easily paint or stain the lettering and add your own designs around the edges. Perfect for wood burning, paint, stain or marker. Jute is included for hanging the plaques.<\/p>\n

We created the samples below by blending acrylic paints together on the plaques and then using metallic and regular paint markers for the lettering detail. You can also use acrylic paints and a sponge painting technique for the outer border.<\/p>\n

Wood Pallets<\/h2>\n

There are endless ways to decorate these Wood Pallet Signs<\/a><\/strong>! Decorate with paint, stain, stamps, lettering, papers and more. Each sign measures 8×8″ and includes holes at the top to hang with jute. The samples below were created with acrylic paints and permanent markers.<\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

You can also get super personal with your designs and give them as gifts! We created the example below by decoupaging patterned paper on each of the horizontal wood pieces. Then we added wood craft letters to spell “Good Times”, and used a hot glue gun to add a tiny clothespin to create a special memory board!<\/p>\n
