A Father's Day Project - Magazine Folder

My husband and I spent last week working on the magazine holder for our Dads'.  Below is the list of items used:

WOODEN MAGAZINE HOLDERS from MICHEALS
WOOD STAIN -
TIM HOLTZ IDEA-OLOGY -SALVAGE STICKERS
TIM HOLTZ IDEA-OLOGY -FOUNDATION BOX FEET
TATTERED ANGELS CHALKBOARD GLIMMER MIST - CHALK
TATTERED ANGELS GLIMMER MIST - SUEDED
MEMENTO INK - TUXEDO BLACK
TIM HOLTZ DISTRESS INK - TEA DYE
TIM HOLTZ DISTRESS STAIN - ANTIQUE LINEN

STAMPS USED:
TIM HOLTZ STAMPER ANONYMOUS -PARIS FILM
TIM HOLTZ STAMPER ANONYMOUS -AIR TRAVEL
AUTUMN LEAVES - ALPHABETICALLY SENT
AUTUMN LEAVES - POSTMARK
HERO ARTS - WISH YOU WERE HERE
TPC STUDIO - TRAVEL WORLD
TATTERED ANGELS - BLOSSOM TREES
SANDYLION (KELLY PANACCI) - TIME FLIES























We also used glue for wood and metals and elmer's wood glue to hold the stickers better.  We also used Mod Podge Gloss Lustre to give it a high shine and to prevent the stickers from falling off and to keep the stamped images from fading.  This was the first time for taking this project on.  We tried to make it look old and rustic.  Definitely will try more of these wood projects.  all of the hardware is from the Tim Holtz line.  We first sanded the magazine holder's.  Then we stained the and placed on two coats.  We then stamped all of the images and used a fixative to seal it.  In each step we let it sit a day to ensure all the material was set.  We then added the stickers with a little help of some spray glue to hold in place.  We then added the Mod Podge to seal and give it some shine.  We did two coats of the Mod Podge.  The last step was adding the hardware which gave it a antique look.  Hopefully our Dads' will like these gifts.
