This is one of those projects that popped in my head while I was laying awake for hours at night. I had to give it a try in hopes to sleep better the next night 🙂
It was really easy and fast. Here is how I did it.
I started with a piece of wood I found in my husbands wood pile. He confessed to me the other day that he has a problem with collecting scraps of wood. I told him I had no problem with this, and together we could have quite the fabric and wood collections. A match made in Heaven.
Then I gathered up 3 different shades of blue paint, and a white.
I squirted them on the board and swirled it around.
This was the result.
Then I went to Hobby Lobby with my 40% off coupon and got this stencil.
I then stenciled on the snowflakes randomly.
Once it was dry I sanded it down really good.
Now if only I had a pretty mantel piece to put this on. Hmmmm.
Simple. Beautiful. Love it! Thanks for the idea. Now to raid my supplies… 🙂
This is a really neat project. It's totally something fun that I can do and that I actually have TIME to do too. Thanks for posting it. Just one question, why did you sand it once you were finished with the painting?
