I thought it was super cute, and all I'd have to do is add some more knobby hangy-thingies and it would be good as new! And at $3.00, it was pretty hard to say no to. It turned out I didn't even have to worry about exactly matching the existing knobby thingy (it had a dark brown stain on it). I was able to find those same round pieces--unfinished--at my local craft store for a couple bucks and I just painted them with whatever brown acrylic paint I had on hand. I just added a little more water to my brush if it was getting too thick.
It turned out A LOT better than I was thinking it would. I reused the tags from my old FHE board (yes, I am that cheap) by writing whatever name I wanted on a white label and cutting it to fit on the tag over the previous word. Even up close you can't tell that's what I did.
Yes, there are only 5 members of my family and there are 6 things to do on this board. So I added a MYSTERY tag. That will rotate each week to a new SURPRISE member of the family who gets to do TWO things for that Family Home Evening! Mystery and Surprise always make things sound more fun and exciting, don't they?
