- 1×4 cedar board (3 @ 13″)
- 3/4″ square moulding (2 @ 8 1/2″)
- wood glue
- nailer & 1 1/4″ finish nails
- sander
- computer & printer
- ballpoint pen
- acrylic craft paints
- small paintbrush
- clear polyurethane
- sawtooth hanger
Step 1: Cut 3 – 1×4 cedar boards to 13″ long. Cut 2 – 3/4″ square mouding to 8 1/2″ long. Line up the 1×4 boards together, apply wood glue to square moulding and secure to boards using 1 1/4″ finish nails. Sand well.
Step 2: Print out desired name and letter. For the giant background letter I used Calisto MT font at 800 point. For the name I used Gloucester font at 300 point. Position lettering on board and trace outline using a ballpoint pen. (Alternatively you could use vinyl lettering.)

The “T” name plaque caught my attention right away at the Idea Box Link Party! My 8 year old daughter’s name is Talia and I rarely, if ever, see it…other than our own home 😉 Thanks for the tutorial this DIY project is just beautiful!

Love this modern take on a name plaque, and the fact that you’ve used natural materials gives it real texture.
