Wooden Medal Holder

After finishing the built-in shelves in my son’s room a few months ago, we’ve been slowly decorating his room. He had his medals kind of piled up on a shelf, so I decided he needed a better way to display them! 
After looking around and getting some ideas I paid a quick visit to Hobby Lobby to look for supplies.
I found this wood plaque, wooden letters, and wooden pegs all for under $15!
I got 8 wooden pegs in the pack.
I measured the plaque and decided on spacing them 2" apart.
I used my 1/4" drill bit and drilled 8 holes across the bottom.
I also added 2 sawtooth metal hangers on the back.
I had some leftover paint from the built-in projects I've been working on around the house, so I used that to paint the plaque and pegs.
I just used acrylic craft paint to paint the letters.
I poked holes in a paper plate to support the pegs while they dried.
I had some leftover wood glue that came with some IKEA furniture, so I used a dab on each peg and then hammered them in.
After the paint had dried, I attached the letters to the plaque with this Gorilla Glue that I had on hand.
I then used this Polyurethane to coat the whole thing and give it a finished look.
    
My younger son is already asking for a medal holder, so I'm sure I'll be making another one soon!
Hope this helps anyone else out there.
If you have any questions please let me know!
Also, if you aren't feeling too crafty I can make a customized one for you, just order through my Etsy shop here.
