Equipment
- Scissors or craft knife and mat
Materials
- Mod Podge Outdoor
- Plinth molding
- House numbers
- Scrap wood cut to size painted white
- Scrapbook paper
- Clear acrylic spray sealer
- Screws
Instructions
- Cut the scrapbook paper to fit the raised section on each plinth. Create a template if needed (see Notes).
- Attach the paper to the plinths using Outdoor Mod Podge. Spread a medium layer onto the surface then place the paper down and smooth thoroughly. Let dry for 20 minutes.
- Seal the tops of the paper with Mod Podge and let dry.
- Lay the numbers on the plinths and space them out. Drill pilot holes, then attach the numbers using the screws provided in each kit.
- Attach the number blocks to the scrap wood by screwing them in from the back.
- For a little extra protection seal the house number plaque with a couple of light coats of a spray-on polyurethane.
- Attach the sign to your house or to a fence using screws to finish.
Notes
- Creating a template with tissue paper: place the tissue paper on top of the plinth and rub a pencil on the edges. Tape the tissue paper to the back of the scrapbook paper and cut out.
- Scrap wood is easy to find at the home improvement store or lumberyard. Sometimes they will even cut it to size for you!
