DIY Art Guitar

My husband plays the guitar, therefore we always have them strewn all over the house. It's inevitable that one is bound to get broken when you have an 8 year old running around like a wild monkey. This would be the victim here:

So after staring at this broken thing for a month, a little light bulb goes off and I decide to decoupage it! I stripped it of the strings and glued the head back on.  I really wanted it to be a music theme. I decided I would print out small squares featuring the album covers of different bands/albums we liked, and cut them out individually. 

Before I started the decoupage process, I gently sanded the surface of the guitar (only where I was going to be glueing)  and wiped off all the remaining dust

Next, I took the individual pictures and laid them out on the guitar to sort of get a basic idea about how I wanted it to look. Then, one by one, I brushed Modge Podge on the back of each tile and glued them to the surface, gently smoothing any bubbles out. I repeated this process over and over until I had the entire face of the guitar covered. 

Once it was dry, I used an all purpose clear acrylic gloss coat to seal the deal and create a water resistant finish. (Obviously, you should do this outside, or in a well ventilated space) 

Once it's dried, here is the finished product:  (I plan to attach a mount to the back so that I can hang it on the wall)
