Directions

  1. Remove jute hanger from plaque and discard.
  2. Print a reversed image, using a laser printer to fit the size of the plaque (approx. 7x7, on regular copy paper. (It must be a laser printer, or it will not work)
  3. Cut image to fit the four slats of the plaque. Each slat varies slightly so be sure to measure the height of each slat. Optional- number the photo strips on backside of photo for placement.
  4. Using your foam brush, brush on a layer of Matte Gel to the image, working with a strip/slat at a time. Place face down on the plaque, starting with the top slat (the one with the two holes). Smoothing out any air bubbles.
  5. Repeat step four, until all four slats are covered. Let sit over night.
  6. Spray plaque with water, working on one slat at a time. Gently rub with your fingers to remove the paper backing from the image. Be careful not to rub too hard, or it will remove the image as well.
  7. Continue to rub until the paper is removed, respraying with water as needed. For our sample, we went over it three times, to remove the paper. Let dry.
  8. Spray with UV Resistant to make the image more vibrant. Let dry.
  9. String lace through holes in top slat tying into a bow.
