Hello friends! I'm on the Clear Scraps blog today with a home decor project using some of the new Shiplap Shapes! And I'm going to show you my techniques! This is a really easy projet to recreate!
Starting with the Small Circle and Square Shiplap Shapes, I applied a light coat of light blue chalk paint to each. I did not worry about whether I had full coverage and if the wood showed through my paint.
Once my paint was dry, I used a tea light candle to rub wax onto the surface of the wood. The rule is the more wax, the more distressed your end result will be.
I applied white acrylic paint in sections then scraping in one direction before drying.
Repeat these steps until you have covered your entire Shiplap Shape.
I set aside my Shiplap to work on my Snowflake Mini Shaker Shape. Again using the white acrylic paint, I painted the top frame, as well as the edges of the inside frames and the chipboard base.
Using my Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive, I affixed the two center frames. I then used a circle punch to place patterned paper in the center as shown.
Now my shaker is ready for some fun chunky glitter which I added to the center.
The next step is the acrylic overlay followed by the top chipboard frame!
Now I am ready to assemble my pieces. I layered patterned paper underneath my photo as well as used a coordinating chipboard frame from the collection I used. I punched a hole at the top of the Circle so I could string ribbon through later.
I also punched another hole at the bottom of my circle ensuring it lines up with the top.
I applied my Snowflake Shaker to the Square Shiplap using my Beacon Adhesive (which I find works best with Clear Scraps products!)
