My daughter and her husband bought a new home so I wanted to make something for her. I love the clapboard stuff. Size is an issue since I don’t have pass through, so I cut half circles with scores to create the clapboard effect.
I was able to make the 18 inch circle and personalize for them. I used a long piece on the back to screw the two together as well as a narrow piece on the front under the initial. This all hides the screws while making it sturdy and raises the initial to provide a shadow. I glued some supports under the name as well. Nothing stellar in design but a big hit and that’s what I wanted.
