I stained them heavily with the above food safe, mineral oil, found at Home Depot. This is where the $9 cost came from.
The result was a very antique looking piece of wood.
Each mini board has its own features.
Some thin, some fat – but all so lovely!!!
They are about the size of an adorable 3 years olds face.
The perfect size for a mini loaf of bread, or a roll at dinner time. They would also work great as a cheese board.
I think they would also be great for any food photography enthusiasts.
The possibilities are endless.
We should probably sell them. Hmmmm. Not this year.
Instead, we tied them up with a picture of the Savior, the true Bread of Life.
With a reminder that if we come to Him, we shall never hunger. (John 6:35, King James Version of the Bible).
The girls had a great time packing these to our dear friends around us,
with some fresh baked bread (of which one or two may have fallen on the ground on the way).
And that is the extent of our homemade holidays for 2013. A very rewarding project.
I did muster out a fluffy wreath for the entry, thanks to a dear friend who agreed to make it with me. Friends are great motivators.
Wreath tutorial found on this site.
Did he happen to make a pattern for the mini boards.
Those are so cute. If you do this again get your mineral oil in the pharmacy. Safe for people and a LOT less money. 🙂
This was a super idea!! Thank you for the inspiration and idea. Can I get a template? Thank you!
I love this idea!! We will be using this for a church function this year. Where did you get that picture of christ?? I would love to print up that same one. 🙂
Absolutely beautiful. You totally rocked those boards. Made them extra special with the message.
amazing! And the bread looks delicious!
Love it! What a special gift idea. You are so creative Cami! Can't wait to see pics of that baby boy!
What a wonderful gift for your family, friends, and neighbors! I wish I was one of your neighbors too because those are so amazing. I just love how you tired that scripture into the gift as well. Simply perfect.
