Step 1) Stain the wooden ornament or plaque. Let dry.

Step 2) Tear out the copy of the photo into the size you need. You can also use scissors, I personally like the rustic look of the torn edges.

Step 7) Cover the top of the ornament with a final layer of Mod Podge. Let dry.

Step 8) If the wooden ornament doesn’t already have a hole or a hanger you can drill a small hole at the top or hot glue a piece of jute to the back of the ornament.
