I love venturing into resale shops . You never know what you will find !
One of the items I always search for are washboards .
I found this one and I knew exactly what I was going to do with it!
I had this beautiful Angel Rice paper from Decoupage Central and I knew it was perfect for this project!
Supplies you will need:
• Some sort of Rice Paper Print ( I'll drop the link to Decoupage Central you will find a ton of beautiful prints at great prices)
• Acrylic paint I used Antique White
• Washboard search resale shops, garage sales, Antique shops
• ribbon for bow
• Artificial greenery
• Modpoge or Elmers glue
• Hot glue
• Minwax sealer
• Sno Flock
• Glitter
I took my Antique white paint and painted my washboard.
It had a burgundy color on it already so I knew once I painted it that was going to sand some of the antique white off to let that Burgundy show through.
I set it aside to dry which didn't take long at all since I only applied one coat of paint .
I then took my print and proceeded to cut it down by ripping the edges .
I like using a water pen to do this but you can also wet a paint brush and do the same thing .
By wetting it as you go it makes it easier to tear the rice paper where you want it . Works like a charm each time !
I wanted a piece for the top part of my board to . I was able to use most of my print !
I chose to use Clear Elmers glue to place my paper on my washboard, but you can use whatever adhesive you like .
Look how pretty! I love this Angle print !
I then lightly sanded my washboard to let that Burgundy show through!
I took my Bowdabra and made a loopy bow .
Even though I can make bows without this tool it sure is handy and frees up your hands while making your bows and it's fun to use !
I glued my bow on with Hot Glue !
I then added my greenery I glued it in place with hot glue .
I had some Sno Flock so I used that for my snow.
In order to use this you first need to spray your greenery lightly with water .
Then you sprinkle your Sno Flock then you spray it lightly with water again that will cause your Sno Flock to set and harden.
For my final step I took my Minwax sealer and gave my print a light coat and then I sprinkled some Diamond dust glitter!
There you have it so beautiful!
