You could make these by just picking up some inexpensive wood at the hardware store or recycling some old wood you may have.
I started by painting my plaques with two coats of white paint.
Then I cut out burlap and hot glued it on in all four corners.
I had a box full of silver tacks- I love these because they look like studs. I tried hammering them into each plaque, but they bent. So I used needle nose pliers to bend the nail on the tack and then I just hot glued the tacks to each corner.
With my cricut, I cut out J & K from card stock and stenciled the letters on the burlap.
All DONE!
Here they are hung!

P.S. I used a flat brissel brush for stenciling and I dabbed excess paint off, and that helped make the letters super neat. THANKS GUYS! Jen~ CraftOManiac.blogspot.com
