DIY - Giraffe Print Uplift

I have had this fun giraffe wall hanging for awhile now, and I ever since the bottom board-thingy broke off I have been going back and forth on whether or not I should throw it away. I almost have several times. But I love it too much! I love giraffes and it is just my style. But it definitely need and uplift. So I looked around my apartment to see what I could use to fix it up...
 I realized a yardstick was the perfect size, and relatively cheap if I ever want to buy another one.
I used black acrylic paint for the boards and mod podge to make the yard stick stick. 
I think it looks very spiffy!
and I am so glad I never threw it out!

  4. How creative! I can see why you wouldn't want to throw it out. It really pops on the white wall background.
