Repurposed trophy into address plaque

Hey, friends, I am here with another repurpose trophy project. That's right! This farmhouse style address plaque was made out of an old trophy that I purchased at a yard sale.

Here is the before picture along with other trophy parts that I repurposed.

First I sanded the wood, dusted all the particles off and wiped clean. Then I painted the wood using this recipe for chalk paint.

CHALK PAINT RECIPE

ONE CUP LATEX PAINT

ADD 1/4 CUP BAKING SODA

MIX WELL

USE 2 COATS TO COVER

After the paint was dry (it dries very fast) I sanded again.

I purchased two wooden farmhouse style numbers from Michaels. Right now Michaels is having a sale 40% Off Any One Regular Price Item Click on the link for savings. The grass cord I purchased on Amazon

I hung my plaque using the grass cord attached to the back with picture hangers.

The stars were brightened up with gold metallic craft paint

I distressed and painted the wooden numbers. I used the color Refreshing - Americana Decor Chalky Finish Paint. The holes were already in place, I simply added two cup hooks and hung an antique skeleton key from one.
