Since my artsy-fartsy bestie was in town, I took advantage of her talents and put her to work.
Wooden Arrows
Materials-
Wood
Paints
Paintbrushes (skinny and thick)
This is such and easy one, I can't wait!
Instructions-
1. Start off with your wood. Do you want the board painted? Paint it! Do you want to keep it natural? Do it. My only hint to you (if you're keeping it natural and not painting the wood) you have to do dark arrows. I did grey and yellow arrows on mine anddddddd you can't quite see them, so just keep that in mind! We painted two boards and kept one with no paint just to experiement.
2. After the boards have dried, we took them over to be lightly distressed (sanding) so they looked more fun and more 'natural.' Again, distressing is up to you on how you want it to look so start with the edges and corners and then make your way onto the flat surface.
3. After the boards are painted and sanded, Meghan went to work on painting on the arrows. She made it look so effortless and easy, that punk. She just looked on good ol' Pinterest for different arrow designs and tada!
It is so nice having the sun to do these crafts! Not only do they dry quicker, but we can do them outside and not freeze and get our tan on! (Well, not quite yet)
