Getting Crafty…

…Razorback style!

We moved into this house nearly a year ago and I’ve finally started to decorate the kitchen!

It took me quite a while to decide what I wanted to do, but then the answer seemed so obvious!

I may now live in Oklahoma, but I’ll ALWAYS be an Arkansan and therefore a forever Razorback!

Here’s what part of my kitchen looks like now…

Now… here’s what you’ll need to make the Hogs sign on the cabinet over the microwave…

I purchased the wooden letters from Hobby Lobby. I went several times and apparently “G”s are EXTREMELY popular!

I also purchased scrapbook paper in various patterns, but keeping the color scheme the same.

First, I traced the wooden letter onto the scrapbook paper, then took a pair of scissors to cut it out. Be sure and use the reverse of the letter on the back-side of the paper.

I then used some mod podge glue to adhere the paper to the letter. After the glue was completely dry (about 24 hours later), I painted another thin coat over the top to seal the paper.

Still waiting on a “G”!

Turns out, the Hobby Lobby closest to me had an issue when they ordered the letter. The manager called two other stores and finally found one in a nearby part of OKC.

I was so relieved to see this…

Now… all my letters are complete!

Next, Rob roughed up some L-brackets with a metal file and I Gorilla Glued them to the back of the wooden letters. Since Gorilla Glue adheres with pressure, I used a brick (we couldn’t find our clamps).
