You Name It Plaque

Instructions

1. Cut a piece from fabric large enough to cover front and sides of plaque and wrap to back, adding enough fabric to margins to allow for shrinkage and raveling.
2. Wash fabric to remove sizing. Do not use fabric softener. Do not dry.
3. Wearing rubber gloves, add water to top of dye bottle. Replace cap tightly. Shake until all dye is dissolved.
4. Cover work surface with garbage bags. Lay damp fabric onto prepared surface.
5. Squeeze a line of green One-Step Dye along upper edge of fabric. Apply lines of yellow, purple and fuchsia One-Step Dyes, close enough to bleed into each other only slightly and small enough to all be seen on front of plaque.
6. Cover with garbage bag. Let set 4-6 hours. Wash in a large load of water with a small amount of laundry soap. Line dry. Iron smooth.
7. Squeeze a puddle of Instant Decoupage onto foil. Brush Instant Decoupage onto front of plaque and onto back of fabric. Lay fabric glue side down onto plaque. Apply Instant Decoupage over fabric, smoothing wrinkles and wrapping fabric to back of plaque. Apply a coat of Instant Decoupage.
8. Brush Instant Decoupage onto letters and onto back of tissue. Lay tissue onto letters, wrapping to back and smoothing edges. Brush Instant Decoupage over tissue. Let dry completely.
9. Glue letters to frame, using Tacky Glue.
