A sign for the laundry room

I have officially started decorating my laundry room. It is all starting with a little sign to hang on the wall. Most normal people probably paint the said room before decorating. Not this girl here! I like to make the decorations first (most likely because I hate painting walls, yuck!). So here follows a tutorial on how to make a sign for the laundry area (or really for any room if you change the words on it)

 Supplies needed:

Mod podge
white acrylic paint
rub n buff silver
 wood letters
 piece of wood ( I have a bunch of leftovers from our board and batten project)
 scrapbook paper, 2 sheets
 ribbon
 decorative tacs
hot glue gun

 First cut out the scrapbook paper to fit the wood board and mod podge it on:

Now paint all the letters in the white acrylic paint:

Now let it dry (don't worry acrylic paint drys pretty fast!). When dry sand down the edges a bit and rub on the rub n buff with your finger and buff it with a piece of cloth or paper towel:

When finished with all the letters, use your hot glue gun to adhere them to the board:

 Now take a strip of ribbon and tie a bow at the top. Take the ends and put them on the back of the board, use tacs to hold them in place:

 take the decorative tacs and put them on the sides of the board to dress them up a bit:

 Now the finished product:

Loves it!! O.K. now i am a little motivated to start painting the room :)
