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.
