Christmas Eve Buffet Menu


This great image above comes from The Graphics Fairy and this post is being linked up to Brag Monday.

As soon as I saw this Santa with his scroll, I knew it would be perfect to display my Christmas Eve buffet menu. The only mistake I made was printing it on regular paper {as the red will run when you Mod Podge over the whole picture}.
As luck would have it, I still had some scrap wood in the garage and found a piece that fit this image to a "T". I added text to the scroll part through Photoshop, printed it out, and cut it out. I painted the scrap wood with black craft paint and then applied the image to the wood with Mod Podge. Once that dried, I put Mod Podge over the whole top {wood and image}.




While the top coat of Mod Podge was still wet, I sprinkled some white glitter on top. I had picked up this box of Christmas chipboard cut-outs at Michaels {$5.99 for a box of 37} and looked for a few that would go with it. Once the whole thing was dry I used hot glue to attach a few of the chipboard pieces.


I had this back to a 5x7 frame that I wasn't going to be using, but I just wanted the easel part of it so that I could prop my menu up on the table. I measured the width out and cut off the excess with a sheetrock knife. I attached the back with Gorilla Glue. How many adhesives is that in this one project alone?



Here it is all complete! This was one of those projects that I was just so pleased with when it was done. When you see what something can be and then are able to see it through it is really very satisfying!





In a practice tablescape:
