I love it when I can grab some scraps & make a project come together!
I've been hanging onto a piece of beadboard for awhile waiting for the perfect project to use it in. So when I found some antique roof tins at an antique store, and remembered that I had a bunch of rusty metal stars, I knew I had found a purpose for the beadboard.
I measured and drew off triangles on the back of the beadboard & cut them out to make Christmas trees.
I painted the beadboard with the color, Fluff, from the Dixie Belle Paint Company.
Than I added Dixie Belle's Van Dyke Glaze.
I used E6000 to glue the beadboard tree onto the roof tin.
Then I added a star to the top of the Christmas tree.
I'm thinking of making more with green trees. What do you think?

ReplyDeleteGreat use of recycled materials - I think green trees would be cute too!
