Family Wall Hanging

Pam recently made this creative craft made from shoebox lids. This crafty idea will now be used as a home decor piece. This idea was taken from Pinterest from the Pin entitled "Shoebox Lids".

Materials:
-Shoebox lids of various sizes (the number of lids is dependent on how many letters are in your last name)
-Mod Podge glue: Glossy finish
-Scrapbooking paper. Choose various
designs, preferably ones that match your home decor)
-Wooden letters (Found at Michaels, already painted black.)
-Curtain rod (Bought at Target for $9.99, an adjustable rod)
-Hot glue gun
-Ribbon (Choose any color that will match)

Directions:
-Line up and measure the Scrapbooking paper to the shoebox lids, cut and trim if necessary.
-Cover the shoebox lid with Mod Podge then apply the Scrapbooking paper on top. Smooth edges. Let dry for an 1-1 1/2 hours.
-Once dry, apply a layer of Mod Podge over the Scrapbooking paper lid. Let dry for 20 mins.
-Hot glue the letters to each box. (See pictures)
-The trick is that even though each lid is a different size, you want each lid to hang at the same level. (You want your name to be lined up.) Wrap the ribbon around the rod to determine proper length. Once length is determined, hot glue the ribbon to the back of the box. (See pictures)
-Once dry, slide the ribbon to the rod. Hang letters and you are ready to display your new family wall hanging!

*I bought hooks at Home Depot to hang the rod.
*This project is time consuming... prepare to pick a free day devoted to crafting!
