Add a pop of color to your pregnancy announcement with this optional step! 

  • Before cutting out the egg shapes, use Mod Podge to glue scrapbook paper to the wood for a vibrant look. This step is completely optional, but I encourage you to try it for a more colorful and personalized touch. 
  • After gluing the paper, process your project. It will score and then cut the eggs. You can also paint them as desired or leave them as is. 

Feel free to cut as many pairs of eggs as you need. Get creative and make your announcement uniquely yours!

  • Secure the Ultrasound Scan: Using scotch tape, carefully secure the ultrasound image to the back of the frame. This will prevent it from moving when you glue the back of the frame.
  • Glue the Frames Together: Apply wood glue or any other strong adhesive along the edges of both frames (front and back). Press the frames together firmly, ensuring they are aligned properly.
  • Attach Embellishments: Glue the embellishments (eggs) onto the front of the frame as desired. Be creative and arrange them in a way that enhances the announcement.
  • Allow to Dry: Let the assembled announcement dry completely according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
  • Display or Gift: Once the glue is fully dry, your wooden pregnancy announcement with the ultrasound image is ready to be displayed or gifted to family and friends.
  • Voila!
