Okay so this was a little while ago, like a couple of years.
And I didn’t end up with one in the end. However I was in on the planning and
what not and this is what I remember about the project. I hope it helps to
answer some of the questions.
1. The back board was covered with 6 sheets of 12x12 papers. The board was about 24 inches wide by about
36 inches long. We put the paper on with modge podge, distressed and then put
the layer of modge podge .
2. The little squares (there are 25 of them) are 3 inches on
each side. The pictures are attached on one side and paper and vinyl on the
other. Remember to put the vinyl on the paper before you modge podge or it won’t
stay on very well.
Each of the little squares is made of a really thin wood.
They each have a little hole drilled through them. The large board has 25
little nails tapped into it. So basically the little square hangs on the board
from a little nail.
A couple of tips...
Don’t try putting the squares onto the board until it is
fully dry, (the large board and the little squares). It is super tempting to
see what it is going to look like but it can take over a day sometimes for the
stuff to full dry. I have found that modge podge never fully dries and will
often stick to itself for even years later. For that reason I prefer weldbond.
However, it dries quickly and takes practice to use. You really only get one
chance with it.
If you have any other questions please feel free to ask and
I will do my best to answer them for you.
