Quick and Easy Repurposed Cheese board Decoration

Hello everyone! I'm excited to share that I found a pack of two cheese boards for only five dollars. I wanted to give them a new look so I decided to create a decoration that could be displayed in any room. I had most of the materials I needed on hand, so the total cost for this project was approximately $7. This craft is quick and simple to create. If you're interested, I'll guide you through the steps to create your very own repurposed cheeseboard decoration.

Please note that this craft is intended for decorative purposes only and is not safe for food use. The materials used are not food-grade.

Materials needed

One cheese board-Purchased at Target for $5, a pack of two

Paint-I'm using white acrylic paint

One sponge brush

One paint brush

Scissors

One Napkin-Purchased one pack at Dollar Tree for $1.25

Papercraft flowers- You can find a variety of paper flowers at any craft store. I  purchased this pack at Hobby Lobby and it was discounted

Hot glue

Applying acrylic paint to wooden board

Start by applying your paint on the front, sides, top, and back sides of your cheeseboard. In between coats of paint, you can use a heat gun to help with drying. I applied two coats of paint, on all surfaces of my wood board using my sponge brush. 

Cutting a section of the decorative napkin

Take your napkin, and begin to cut the section you would like to display on your board. To be sure that it will fit, place your napkin over your wooden board. This way you can see exactly where to cut, and how it will look on the board. 

Begin to cut your napkin. With the napkin being 2-ply, be sure to remove the second layer. 

Applying Mod Podge and napkin to the wooden board

Take your paintbrush, and begin to apply a thin layer of Mod Podge onto your wooden board. 

Take your napkin, lay it over your wooden board, and over the Mod Podge. Use your fingers and gently press the napkin down. Begin to smooth out any lines, and wrinkles that may appear. It's okay if you don't get every single wrinkle out. I used a heat gun to help assist in removing wrinkles and smoothing the top surface. 

Take your paint brush, and begin to apply a thin layer of Mod Podge over your napkin. After, you can take your heat gun on a low setting, and repeat the previous step. 

Adding the paper flowers to the design

Next, use your hot glue, and begin to add your paper flowers. I lined three flowers on the bottom of my board, and three on the top right corner. 

Note-If you want to hang your design, just take some twine, and add that to the back of your board using hot glue.

This repurposed craft was so simple to create, and I think it turned out pretty! If you have enjoyed this craft, I would love it if you checked out my DIY Spring Mini Wood Riser.
