"I have a hero" board

(Don't forget to enter the "Mother's Day Card Set" Giveaway here)

A while back I bought some vinyl letters at the Holy Cow Boutique that read
"I have a Hero...
His name is Dad!"

They were fairly cheap so I thought I'd find a use for them.

A few days later I went to Roberts and found a 4x24" board, just waiting to be decorated.
This is what I came up with:

I painted the board dark blue.
Then I dipped a toothbrush in cream paint and splattered the entire thing.

I had some extra magnetic metal scraps from a previous project, so I cut them down to 3.5x5" rectangles.
I centered them on the board, then attached the vinyl letters at the top and bottom.

I took wooden stars (painted them cream with blue splatters), and made them into magnets.
Perfect for holding up two pictures.

I glued 3 extra stars in the middle.

A perfect wall hanging for the boys room!
