I took a 1X8 pine board and cut a couple rectangles (end dimension of 7.5 by about 6.5 inches) on the table saw, then sanded them down and drilled two holes in the top.
Then put on several coats of white spray paint...not enough to cover it completely, as I wanted more of a whitewashed look with the wood grain showing through.
Next, I designed the quotes with my Silhouette, and cut them out and used them as a stencil. Mixed a couple different colors of brown acrylic paint to match the brown grosgrain ribbon, then filled in the stencil with around 6 coats. Removed the stencil, and sanded the lettering and wood to get a worn vintage look. Sanded down the edges as well, and then added a coat of Valspar translucent Mocha glaze, then threaded the ribbon through. I love them!
