Award of Recognition And Merit Award:

Handmade Wood-burning Plaques-

So my beautiful princess graduated from Pre- K,

And of course I am so proud of her & her hard work.

But I also recognize the hard work of the teachers and 

the staff of her school.

I decided to learn how to wood-burn myself, and let me say

I was a mess. I panicked at the beginning but at the end I 

came to grips that this was a very important 

project and it was very special for me to present.

Materials:

• Wood burning tool ( I got mines at A.C. Moore, Walnut Hollow)
• Wood plaques ( I got a bunch of them because I had to practice first)
• A pencil and a Eraser ( If you going to freestyle)
• Transfer paper and carbon paper to make it easier
• Spray sealer ( Just to keep it from damaging in time)
• And a lot of dedication!

I made four plaques for four amazing TEACHERS because

they are amazing at they're job and they have a lot of passion

and love for their job,

 And One Merit Award

for the school Security Guard because every morning she greet

us with the most amazing smile and happiness.

It's amazing the hard work my princess teacher do.

They deserve to be recognized and I'm honored to make something so

beautiful for them to know how much we appreciate their work

and their passion.

CLASS OF 2016!

So now more about the work and process of these beautiful awards.

Learning to wood burn wasn't easy it took me a lot of practice and

training my hand to stop shaking because I was nervous. Lol

I used tracing paper to put the whole design together.

I wanted to make sure that everything was placed in the 

right place and that every word was straight.

I used transfer paper to transfer the message onto the plaque. 

I sand the corners and the edging to make sure there

wasn't no wood sticking out and to prevent a very ugly splinter.

I also sealed my work for in case it gets wet is resistant to that

and to dust it with no fear of messing up the piece.

Also to preserve the burned words to the plaque.  

One I'm proud of my work, but I'm more proud
of the teachers and staff that deserve to be recognize for
they're hard work.
Also I'm so happy with their reaction when they were given
these beautiful plaques.
I was so emotional that I kept telling myself don't cry!!! LOL.
