Materials Needed:

wooden piece (cut to 2x8x8) or pre-cut plaque
dowel cap
small clothes pin
decorative wooden or metal shapes (a crown, finial, etc.)

black spray paint
small piece of burlap (about 1/2 inch smaller than the plaque)
spray glue
hammer and 4 small furniture tacks

Cut Wood to Size

Start with a 2x8x8 plaque that from a home supply store. Then, cut a few more copies in the same size. If you don’t have a saw you can purchase your wood at a home supply store and have them cut it there for you. The pieces are about 10" long.

Add Accents

Attach a dowel cap from a craft supply store to the top of a wood piece.
