Whimsical Scrap Wood Christmas Tree Decor

You will need:

*Scrap wood or surface of choice

*Red, green and white paint

*Paint brush

*Sticks for the stem

*Raffia

I started off by painting alternating rows of green and red in the shape of a tree.

I then took my chippy paint brush and lightly went over it all with my green color.

Next, I used the same brush and added wisps of white to make it look like snow.

I added a small raffia bow to the top of the tree and then to the center I added a piece of snow I took off of a floral pick I had on hand.

I used three pieces of sticks for the stem of the tree.

I just love how this turned out!

Valentine Cookie Cutter Sign

You will need:

*Surface of your choice

*Valentine cookie cutters-Walmart

*Paint

*Glitter-optional

*Jute twine or rope

*Embellishments of choice

For this project I used a piece of scrap wood that I had laying around, but you could use any surface you choose. I found these Valentines cookie cutters at Walmart. The first thing I did was to get my paint on my paper plate.

Next, simply dip your cookie cutters in your desired paint color and transfer to your surface. You may have to re-dip the cookie cutters a few times to get bolder lines.

Once I was done with the cookie cutters, I then used different embellishments I had on hand to dress it up a bit. I also sprinkled some red glitter over my paint while it was still wet. I found these burlap hearts at Hobby Lobby and then just added a cute little button to the middle of the hearts. For the arrow, I used a metal key embellishment that you can find HERE on Amazon.

To finish off the project, I took a piece of burlap and a piece of ribbon to make a cute little bow. I used a piece of twine to bunch the ribbon together in the middle and then finished off by adding a button to the center.

XOXO Valentine’s Sign

This sign is so stinkin’ cute and easy to make! And the even better part is that you more than likely have these items laying around your house!

You will need:

*Piece of scrapwood or surface of your choice.

*White paint

*Ribbon of choice

*Jute rope

The first thing I did was to whitewash my board. I used antique white Apple Barrel paint for this.

Next I cut 4 pieces of my ribbon to make the “x” and then 2 pieces of rope for the “o”.

I laid this out to get my spacing and then hot glued.

To finish off the sign, I glued a piece of rope twine to the back for a hanger.

So what do you think? Doesn’t get much easier than this, right? Cute décor doesn’t have to cost a fortune!

Mini Scrap Wood Scarecrow

You will need:

*Piece of scrap wood-I used a small piece of a 2×4

*Burlap

*Jute twine

*Paint-whichever colors you prefer

*Paintbrushes

*Glue Gun-Here’s my affiliate link for the cordless glue gun I use.

The first thing I did was wrap my burlap around the top half of my board for the hat. I did fold the bottom inch or so over to make a brim for the hat.

Once I had the hat glued on I took a piece of jute twine and tied a little bow on the top of the hat to bunch it together.

Now, it’s time for the paint! I like to use smaller paint brushes for this. I started with the eyes and worked my way down the face. I used a round spouncer for the rosy cheeks but if you don’t have one you can certainly just use a paint brush to make them.

Once I had my face painted on, I then made a little raffia bow to stick on the brim of the hat.

Scrap Wood Fire Crackers

Supplies:

*Scrap Wood

*Red, White, and Blue Paint

*Paint Brush

*Spouncer

*Sanding Block

*Jute Cord/Rope

The first thing I did was paint my two pieces of wood. I used “Ocean” Waverly chalk paint for my blue and “Bright Red” Apple Barrel paint for my red.

Once my paint had dried, I took my spouncer(round sponge brush) and added white polka dots to my blue fire cracker and white stripes to my red fire cracker. If you wanted, you could use painters tape to paint your stripes on also for a more perfected look.

Next, I hot glued two pieces of jute cord on the top for my fuses.

Once my polka dots and stripes were dry, I then took my sanding block and distressed them.

They are super cute just like this but I decided I wanted to add a cute, little bow to mine. I simply just took a few different patterns and thickness of ribbon and criss crossed them. I then take a skinny piece of ribbon or twine and tie it to the center of my bow to gather my ribbon together.

Aren’t these just adorable! The perfect addition to your patriotic decor!
