Wedding Wall Hanging

I found the most awesome and simple tutorial for transferring text or images from my cheapo printer onto wood, over at Diddle Dumpling.  It was perfect for this project I’m going to show you today.
A couple months ago, I shared some idea with you from a bridal shower I attended.  Well, the wedding is this weekend and so I wanted to make the happy couple a present.  Making a gift is almost always less expensive and can also be nicer just because of the personal touch.

So, here’s what I did…
I took special things from their wedding invitation, one of which is their initials, made mirror images of them, and printed them out.

I applied them to a distressed piece of cedar by laying them, ink side down, on the board and squirting the paper lightly with water.

Next, I took a marker cap and gently but thoroughly rubbed all the letters so the ink would release from the paper onto my wood.

I did this same thing with the date of their wedding, and the scripture that was on their invitation.

The verse came out a little lighter than I wanted, so I touched it up with some black paint.  Then I sanded over it to give it the same “old” look as the rest of it.

My Better Half drilled holes in the signs and attached them together with copper wire.

I now have a personal, inexpensive gift to give.

I really like this look and it was very easy.  I’m excited to try this on some other projects I have coming up!

Now, off to figure out what I’m going to wear to the wedding!

    I love that idea. I saw on another blog (darned if I remember where) how to transfer a photo onto wood. I bookmarked it, thinking it would make a great anniversary gift, copying the wedding photo. Good thing I’ve got plenty of time to organize (cough cough) bookmarks and find it. Well, find it at least. Great job and idea on your project.

    Can you tell me how to do the mirror image? Is it a setting on your printer?
    Thanks

    It really was a well run local station. I have only positive memories of it. In fact, when I finally did get my first personal TV one of the channels I was relieved to be able to tune into was WPIX.
