Begin by gluing 4 DIY Unfinished Wood Slats together, creating the base of your chair backer. Allow to dry.
Add a coat of White Acrylic Paint to the boards. Once dry, add a drop of Black Acrylic Paint to the White Paint to make a gray color. Add a few strokes of gray paint, giving the board a more rustic look.
Print and trim our free Madame and Monsieur Template. Turn the template over and shade it in with a lead pencil. Turn the template back over and tape it centered on the board. Use a pencil and trace the lettering of the word. Once done, remove the template and you'll see the word outlined in pencil on your board.
Use a Black Sharpie and retrace the word.
Next, use a hand drill and drill 1/4" hole in the right and left top corners of the board. String a piece of Anique White Ribbon through the holes and tie at either end creating a loop to hang the chair backer by.
Lastly, Hot Glue a few sprigs from the Silver Dollar Eucalyptus Garland, Boxwood Garland and Frosted Greenery Stems to the top of the chair backer for a lovely detail. Your chair backer is now ready to display at your French Chateau Inspired Wedding! Make sure to see the DIY Wedding Favor Baskets we made as well as our innovative take on the classic French 75 Cocktail.
