Wooden Nameplate
Here is a project for the older children that are able to use a hammer. This crafty nameplate is a good gift for dad on Father’s Day or just for the child to keep him or herself. The nameplate can be hung or used as a paper weight.
What you will need:
- Flat piece of wood
- Screwdriver
- Hammer or mallet
- Pencils
- Paints and paintbrush
- Sandpaper
Draw a design around the edges of the wood and write name to fill the middle of the piece of wood.
Use the hammer to tap the blade of a screwdriver into the wood, following the lines of the design and letters.
Sand the top and the edges of the nameplate.
Paint the nameplate any color to highlight the name and design. Let it dry.
