Beadboard Bunny

If you read my blog very often, 

you know I'm in love with Beadboard!
I decided I needed an

EASTER-Y BEADBOARD DECORATION, 

so I went to work...

with my 4 year old helper;)

I started with an old piece of wood & painted it HOT PINK. I love the grain in this wood.
Then I painted a light coat of WHITE over the top...

Then I made up some SIMPLE patterns from cardboard to trace on my beadboard--- 

I wanted STRAIGHT EDGED eggs & a bunny & they took me about 1 minute to cut out...

Straight Edges make cutting it REALLY EASY & I'm LAZY...plus I think it is fun & different!

I cut them out with my jigsaw & then went to town painting them with some fun SPRING COLORS...

I didn't spend much time on painting them, since I knew I didn't want them perfect looking.

Then I took them outside for SOME DISTRESSING...

I sanded everything down, giving it a weathered look & used wood glue to attach my beadboard shapes to my wood...

I am not in LOVE with this project, but it took me less than an hour, start to finish & I think I will nail it to a wood post & stick it in my front yard.

*For a fun variation, I think I will make some more "BEADBOARD EGGS" & make sure the lines are horizontal and then cut CUTE strips of Scrapbook paper to mod podge on to each section so I don't even have to paint any designs on them! I will post what I'm talking about if I attempt them!
