The exception, not the rule.: No Name Board

*~*~*~*Featured at The Classroom Creative*~*~*~*

I'm so proud of this project. I spend WAAAAAY too much time trying to figure out whose paper I have at my desk with no name on it. After 12 years, it still blows my mind that you turn something in without a name!

So, I'm not spending that time anymore. The no namers will be clipped to this board and they will have to figure it out from there. I first saw this idea here on Pinterest. I wanted mine to look different, but the same concept.

I had a board in the garage that was leftover from when I made these this past Christmas. So, really all I had to buy was the was the can of spray paint (used 40% off coupon at Hobby Lobby), package of clothespins and the scrapbook paper for the letters and the clothespins. Less than $10!!

I spray painted the board pink and cut the letters using my silhouette cameo. The font I used was Cheri. I modge podged the letters onto the wood. I am AWFUL trying to get letters on things straight. But, once I lay them out, I get it pretty straight. ;)

Once I modge podged the letters on, I modge podged over the letters. I did not modge podge the entire board because the spray paint I used was a gloss and it all looked the same. I used scrapbook paper to "cover" the clothespins. I modge podged the paper to the clothespin & then modge podged over the paper. I used gorilla glue to glue them to the board. The board is extremely heavy, so super husband did the wire and the screws on the back. Such technical terms, huh?

I love how it turned out!
