If you are worried about the cost, it is not a cause for worry. Search for secondhand items or even unused ones in your house. Your project materials can be anything as long as it is still usable. You may also find trinkets which can serve as decorations if you like.
First off, you need wood. Big or small, it is up to your preference. Its dimensions, as well, are up to you. It does not matter if the sides are chipped and rough to the touch. A few sessions with the sandpaper should smoothen them out. For chipped sides, just trim it out or let it. It can be a part of its charm and design. At least then, you will not have to worry about designing its borders any more.
Also, ready your writing materials, as well as items found in the house. It is great to use permanent markers, however brushes ads certain aesthetics to the work. Paired with acrylic paints, these would bring out the brush strokes as you use it. It is better to use acrylic because it dries faster.
Think of something that you like to write on it. The phrase can be as long as you want. Your write up may be something in relation to your family such as family motto or the meaning of your family name. Your favorite phrases and quotes may serve as well. If the purpose is as a gift, you may write the name of the person you are giving it to and your message.
Once the paint dries, you can now do finishing coat on its surface with mod podge water base sealer or any decoupage glue. It will protect the writings you have done and the designs you made. To DIY it, you can use polyvinyl acetate or PVA glue and mix it with an equal part of water. This mixture does the same job as well.
When the glue dries, you can now hang it up on the wall. You need nails and hammer to put it in place. Make sure that the wall is clean and thoroughly wiped out of dusts before doing it. If you do not like to put a hole on your wood, you could opt to use vinyl decal. These are wall stickers you put at the edge of the back surface of your wood. This is a practical way to protect your wood and your wall.
Now that it is already in place, take a few steps back and then appreciate what you did. Find a place across from that and sit down. Relax your muscles from the hard work. You earn that as well as the self fulfillment it brings you.
