Birthday Board DIY

Birthday Board DIY



Thanks pinterest for the idea.
Speaking of pinterest, I don't really understand why we thank pinterest, or say we got the idea from pinterest, or why we refer to it as if it were a person. So what I really should say is thanks to the lady who originally made this and for pinning it so I could steal your idea.





Step 1:
Prime



The wooden nickles can be found at any craft store
Don't forget to make extra circles for kids to come


Step 2: Sort
I picked a different color for each family


Step 3: Pick your paint

Step 4: Paint
Mine took about 5 coats.
Note to self: Buy better paint next time.

Step 5: Put your vinyl lettering on. My font: Cinnamon Cake
(shout out to Sharyn for letting me use her silhouette for cutting the vinyl) 

Step 6: Screw in the smallest eyelet screw you can find

Step 7: Drill a hole at the top and bottom of the circles
and use a jewelry link to connect the two circles.
(My fantastic hubs did all of this while I was at girls night)


Step 8: Connect all the links and Enjoy!

Step 9: Make your husband take a billion pictures just so you can have it for your blog


A big thank you to this handsome guy


Sometimes when he uses the camera I get pictures like these. ha.
