Street Address Number Display

Display the numbers of your street address on a wooden plaque.

Here's what you will need to make your plaque honoring your street address numbers...

• an old piece of wood in need of a fun makeover
• wooden or metal numbers that represent the first numbers of your street address (mine are 155)
• Cardstock
• Tacky glue
• glue gun
• Duct tape
• scissors
• X acto knife and cutting mat

Start by covering your wood piece with cardstock.

Now, here comes the difficult part. Cut off several pieces of duct tape and cover the numbers with them. It might require the use of your X acto knife to cut off several areas to make it easier to fold over. It was a lot of hard work for me, but it was worth it. I'm pretty sure it will be the same for you too! It just takes a lite bit of skill and patience! I chose leopard printed duct tape to give a nice bold contrast to the bright yellow paper.

Now, add hot glue to the backs of your numbers and attach them to your plaque, along with a few other emellishments if you choose, like I did here with two small buttons. These buttons give a nice compliment to the plaque without making it look too safe.

Once the glue has dried, it ready to display on your shelf or mantel! This makes for a great gift, especially for a married couple moving to a new home!
