Monogrammed Striped Plaque

Happy Monday Everyone!
This is, Kristy {DavesWife} and today I am here to share 
with you the tutorial for a cute sign I made!


Again this is another Simple project that I made with items I had laying around my house.
I started with an unfinished 12x12 Plaque that I spray painted Black
&
And unfinished particle board "c"  that I spray painted my favorite shade of blue.
{you can find these at most craft stores for around $1}

Next up I added the stripes.
Side Note: My original plan was to use some white vinyl but I quickly realized I was all out.
So I resorted to Plan B: Mod Podge.
I simply took a piece of white cardstock and cut {5} strips that measured 1 1/4" thick
And Mod Podged them right on to my board.
Once the strips were in place I added 2 more coats of Mod Podge to the top
{letting it dry in between coats}
Next to attach the "C", 
I used {2} Command Strips
And applied them to the back of my "C"
peeled off the backing, and pressed it onto the center of my board.
This way if I get tired of the "C" I can peel it off
without damaging it and put something else on it.
Like a Heart for Valentine's Day

Or anything else I want depending on the Holiday!
There is nothing I love more, than decorating my home
for EVERY holiday, and this makes it SUPER easy to 
change out as often as I want to with out spending a lot of Money!

Thanks for letting me stop by!
