WYLTC? Crafty Sisters Chevron Heart Flower Garden Stakes

It's our turn today over at Wood You Like To Craft with this month's theme of Chevron and we are sharing a simple Valentine's Day wood craft you'll want to add to your "to do" list! ~ Come on over and take a peek!

Papered Flag

Some of my best inspirations working with wood

come from looking at handmade cards.

I knew as soon as I saw this card/gift box

made by Tracy Harp of Inky Doodles

that it would be perfect made out of wood!

Isn't it so cute and clever!?!

I cut the basic shape and star out of 

1/4" MDF at approximately 11x14".

I painted it Americana Deep Midnight Blue.

I always water down my paint for a smoother finish.

It's better to do 2 light coats

than one thick globby coat.~is that even a word?

I then Mod Podged on some of the cutest paper 

from Authentique.

Have you guys seen their paper?

It's gorgeous and thick which makes it perfect for paper crafting!

When I was done I glued gunned on some cute ribbons to hang it with.

So easy, so fun and cute!

Did any of you watch Craft Wars last night?

Oh my goodness was it fun, exciting and totally intimidating!

What did you guys think?
