I started out making these for a friend's birthday but now they hang together over the stove. They were born from two random pieces of 2X4 the kids had taken from a woodpile at their friend's house. I sanded them down, covered them with paper, (I could have painted them, too) then decoupaged little scenes on them with paper. I pounded a nail-less sawtooth hanger on the back of each to hang them with. I'm getting a big thrill out of the collage/decoupage thing these days.
