Yield: 1 plaque
Cost: $10
Materials
- Wood oval plaque
- Wood star(s) various sizes
- Craft paint white, bright blue, bright red
- Glitterific paint red, dark blue
- Mod Podge any formula
- Fireworks napkin
- Adhesive letters glitter
- Craft glue
- Parchment paper

Instructions
- Paint the wood using white craft paint. Roll on one side, let dry, and flip over. Paint other side and let dry.
- Apply a coat of Mod Podge to the wood; don't do the edges. Let dry 15-20 minutes and repeat.
- While the Mod Podge is drying, separate the napkin from the bottom layers. You can use tape to help. You just want the top layer with the design.
- Place the napkin down onto the plaque and align. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the napkin, and run the craft iron across the top several times. While you are doing this, the Mod Podge is melting below the napkin, and the napkin is adhering. Keep going until the napkin is fully adhered. Sand excess napkin off the edges with the emery board.
- Paint the wood stars with the craft paint colors of your choice. Don't forget to paint the edges. Let dry.
- Use a spouncer to apply glitter to the top of the stars. Let dry and apply as many coats as desired.
- Use the ruler to help with placement of the adhesive letters. Attach evenly across the front.
- Adhere all stars to the front with glue. I also added two little firecracker embellishments to the front and let dry before hanging or displaying.
