Materials Needed:
- Caulking Gun
- Construction Adhesive
- Utility Knife
- Hooks
- Old Books (disclaimer: we do NOT condone destroying books, but these poor guys were about to be thrown out. Technically, we saved them. No big deal.)
- 60+ generous donors willing to help make CoEd’s new office dreams a reality
Instructions:
- Figure out how to use a caulking gun. Practice by gluing your child’s lunchbox to their coat. They’ll never forget lunch again! Unless they forget their coat… back to the drawing board…
- Cut the book covers off of your old books using a utility knife. Face the sharp edge away from your body – we’re not trying to add any anecdotes about why you’re missing a third of your ring finger to your arsenal of overused stories.
- Using the construction adhesive and the caulking gun, carefully glue the book covers into a fun and aesthetically appealing shape– we took the asymmetrical blob route.
- Let dry (at least 5 seconds).
- Contact your favorite engraver in the whole wide world, Matthew Kane, at Cutting Edge Engraving to have nameplates made in honor of everyone who donated to the CoEd Wall of Honor. An enormous thank you to Matthew for donating the engraved nameplates. You. Are. The. Best.
- Hang your art using hooks in a very conspicuous and easy-to-see location. After all, you are going to want to show this masterpiece off. And the most important step of all…
- Leave room for more book covers to be added. That’s right; you still have a chance to leave your mark on this one-of-a-kind work of art that is gracing our office wall. It is such a gift to have a tangible reminder of the generosity and enthusiasm shown by YOU, our donors. Check out our Wall of Honor donation page to have your very own nameplate created. Bonus: you get to tell us what you want your plaque to say. Suggestions include: In Honor of…, In Memory of…, or Special Thanks to….
On that note, we want to say a special thanks to all of our supporters who have already so generously donated to this project. It is an honor and a pleasure to be reminded of your support on a daily basis.
Now get crafting!
