Instructions for Child's Job Chart

Supplies

10 in x 6 ft board (or smaller)
Saw
Router and bit
Paint
Liquid Nails (Lowes)
Scrapbook Paper (3 different pages in chosen designs) I bought mine at Hobby Lobby
2 colors of cardstock
Three 5 x 7 in metal roofing shingles (found at Lowe's)
for other sizes, check out www.stick2it.biz
Modge Podge (available at any craft store)
Matte Sealer (available in the paint section of any hardware store...even wal-mart)

1. Buy a 10in x 6 ft board..or use a 10 in wide scrap piece from another project. You will only use 18 in. of it. Cut the board to 18 in long.

2. Router the edges with whatever design you prefer. If you don't own a router, you can purchase pre-routered boards at most craft stores or custom sizes at www.stick2it.biz.

3. Putty and sand the board.

4. Paint the board and allow to dry.

5. Cut your pieces of scrapbook paper to 6 in x 8 in. Place the back of the paper on top of metal shingle. Cut the corners of paper . Fold the edges of paper to backside of shingle. Place Modge Podge on the back of paper, center it on the shingle, and fold edges to back. Glue down paper edges on back. Use a spatula to smooth out any bubbles. Place a heavy book on top and allow to dry.


6. When dry, cut your names or words out of cardstock with a die cut machine, cricut, silhoette, or do it the old fashioned way. Use a stencil to draw names on paper, and cut it out with scissors. You could also print the outline of letters with your computer and printer, and then cut them out. Doesn't really matter. The result is the same. (If you are really going for simple, print the words right onto the scrapbook paper with your printer.)

7. Cover the scrapbook paper covered shingle with modge podge

8. Center the letters where you want them on top of the metal section you have covered in scrapbook paper. I use transfer paper to remove the evenly spaced letters (from the paper I cut them from) and transfer them to the project.

9. After glueing down the letters, apply another layer of modge podge over the letters allow to dry. Add another layer of modge podge and allow to dry again. After a few hours of drying, if the glue is dry to touch, check for bubbling. If your project starts to bubble, place a heavy book on top. Be sure it is dry to touch first. Leave the book on top for several hours.

10. Use liquid nails to glue each section to the Board.

11. Spray the entire project with Sealer and allow to dry (This is very important. It will protect the project)
