Materials:

mat board
The Vintage Workshop fine art paper VW954
The Vintage Workshop matte paper with adhesive backing VW962
The Vintage Workshop Click-n-Craft Storybook Collection I CD VW304
decorative paper
hot glue gun with glue sticks
glue stick or mounting adhesive
decorative ribbon
craft knife
metal ruler with cork back
cutting mat

Steps:

1. Print images from the CD on The Vintage Workshop's fine art paper, following package instructions. Trim images.

2. For each wall-hanging, cut a piece of mat board to 6-5/8" x 7-1/2". Cut a sheet of decorative paper 1/4 inch smaller on all sides than the mat board.

3. Use a glue stick to mount paper to the center of the mat board, applying slight pressure to secure it into place. Note: The glue is not needed if you use The Vintage Workshop's matte paper with adhesive backing.

4. Adhere the image to the center of the paper area, applying slight pressure to secure into place.

5. Cut a small piece of ribbon and fold in half. Secure ribbon ends to the back of the mat board with hot glue to create a hanger.

Hint: For best results, print the images using only one sheet in the printer at a time.
