Snowman Sled

I am getting so psyched about Christmas this year so I've decided to start early.  I found a darling sled at Michaels Craft Store.  I had a 50% off one item coupon so it ended up only costing me about $5.00!  So here are my directions:

  • Paint base of sled hunter green.
  • Choose a coloring page from a coloring book or download and print a coloring page from the internet.
  • Transfer image using graphite paper and a pencil.
  • I made our last name by using Word Art in the Publisher program.
  • Paint image as desired!!
  • Go over what is left of the hunter green background with an aqua blue wash (craft paint + water) or whatever color you desire.
  • Put brush on snow on the snow and on your name if you so desire.
  • Seal with a spray acrylic sealer.
  • Voila! It is finished.
This is a fun, easy, and cheap project.  I can't wait for Christmas to come so I can hang up my sled!
