Learn to create a one of a kind mother's day gift using family pictures, a wooden crate, some paint, and a wooden family word to create a custom wall decor for you amazing mother!!
Gather your supplies: wooden crate of any size that fits your wall, a wooden word (I like family, but Mother would be great too), some paint, decoupage medium (mod podge or matte medium), rope, family pictures, cardstock, and some brushes.
I starting collecting family pictures and used any pictures where all 4 kids were in the shots (so from the youngest as a baby) and went forward to any family picture then after. I had about 40 or so when I was done. I sized them down to about 2-3" and made them all black and white. I then printed them on white cardstock and made a collage for the back of the crate. I used the matte medium to stick them to the back of the crate and also seal in the pictures.
I painted the wooden "family" word in light blue, but any color you want to paint will work. Pick you mother's favorite color!! I then glued the word to the front of the crate.
I also glued rope around the crate for added interest after the family word had dried in place.
You can hang this on a wall or if you did not have the words go below the crate like I did it could also rest on a table.
