Inspired Craft

Well, I couldn't help myself.  My uber-talented hairstylist, Katrina, has such cute interior decor.  I loved the door knob wall hook she had located in her entry way that she said she got from pier 1.  They are similar to these:

Very Cute.  Anyway....I have to admit, I'm a bargain hunter.....and I don't mind going to very discounted stores to find stuff.  Well, I found something similar on clearance at Big Lots (definitely not Pier 1) however, i thought hey...why not.  It was cute...it had a crystal door knob thingy and the color matched my living room anyway.  The picture of Christ above my piano and this pin that I got from pinterest:

 inspired me to make a couple of wood plaques I used to mod podge the same scripture Matthew 7:7 (although I know in the quote in our scriptures it's "SHALL" not "WILL"...but the message is the same).  It came out nice....but i'm debating to change the frame...or re-paint it black.  I dunno.  Here is what I did:
PLAQUE #1

PLAQUE #2

COMPLETE DISPLAY ABOVE MY PIANO

So to make this project you will need these supplies:
 #1- Find yourselves some doorknob looking hooks

#2 Wood Plaques from Craft Store

#3- (2) D ring hooks that screw in the back of the plaque

#4- Craft Paint- your choice of Color

#5- Mod Podge

#6 Foam Brushes

#7 Scrapbook Paper

#8 Printed Quote of Matthew 7:7 with whatever font using Word- Print it out on paper

#9 Ribbon of your choice

So paint your plaques (let it dry), mod podge some pretty scrapbook paper onto plaque (let it dry), mod podge the quote onto plaque (let it dry), screw in the D ring hooks in the back of each plaque, cut some ribbon and tie it on the D Rings....tie the plaques to the doorknob hooks...and hang those puppies up  and place them on the adjacent to your inspired picture of our Savior.  Then Voilà! There you have it folks.
ADDENDUM:  I decided to paint the frame Black.....while hanging on the wall because it was just easier and I was lazy ;)
