"F" is for Favors #2

Paint: Event favors

I painted these wooden favor tags as a little keepsake ornament of the Spring Auction 'Fiesta' at my kids school.

They are a recreation of a magnet that was made for school families:

 Proof that nearly any graphic image can be transferred and painted on wood:

The logo also appears in the auction journal:

It's fun and bright and I just couldn't resist making a few for the auction committee ladies:

Here's how I made the favor tags:

1. Take photo of image, modify size to fit space then print:

2. Purchase 3" wood discs:

3. Paint wood discs one coat white, front and back.

Make a cardboard template of disc and determine where string hole will go:

4. Use template on each disc to insure string hole is in same place on each tag.
Then paint second coat of white, front and back.

5. Position print out on top of disc, using a ballpoint pen trace outline of letter and shape:

(I also put a dot where each colored circle will go.)

6. Lift off the print out and you should see the indent left behind: 

7. Paint as desired:

8. The darker colors will need two coats to become opaque:

9. For the colored polka dots I used the blunt end of wooden skewers:

10. Place polka dot centered on pen indentation:

11. Seal with clear spray poly gloss:

12. Add jute string for hanging:

All packaged up and ready to deliver:
