Batman Cork Board Monitor Topper

My husband has always been a huge Batman fan. He says he is "the thinking man's superhero" because he uses tools and skill,along with wit, to defeat a bunch of crazies. No cosmic super powers here. *Grins*

For Father's Day, I decided to make him both something that would help him keep track of all the little notes he takes for his games (and the list of projects I have for him to help me with, I hope) and give him something "Super" for his desk. This thing is pretty sweet, iffin' I do say so myself! ;)

A layer of cork is backed by a recycled napkin holder, and the bat signal is sponge painted and sealed. 

Step 1 Materials Used

I was inspired by an old blue plastic napkin holder that was in our garage sale pile. Odd, I know, but inspiration comes from the strangest places! 

Materials Used:
Exacto knife or Fiskars Fingertip Craft Knife (shown)
Self healing mat or cutting mat
Craft Smart paint in 'Bright Yellow"
Sponge Brush
hot glue gun
napkin holder
1/4 inch cork, from old cork board
Mod Podge Clear acrylic spray 

For the Stencil:
Printed copy of Batman Signal
clear .003 acetate sheet drafting film/stencil material (just about anything that's clear, plastic and thin enough to be cut with an exacto knife will work.)
