Christmas Sleigh
I found this cute wooden sleigh in the thrift store and in great condition!
I wanted it to be more festive so I pulled a few ideas together.
First I cleaned it with Krud cutter, then lightly sanded and wiped it down. Sanding helps the paint grip better.
I chose this lush green from behr paint company and got the flat finish.
I used my stencil from last year. As you can see, it’s seen better days, but still does the job!
Since the sleigh is longer than the stencil, I just chose where to apply certain areas of the stencil. I used a white paint for this.
Next, I took two scented pine cones and hot glued ribbon to them.
Add a little glue, then tie the ribbon onto the pine cones.
After these dried I tied them to the sleigh.
I took some jute rope that I found at the dollar tree and looped it through the holes.
im so happy how this turned out! Now it’s all ready for Christmas! Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope this finds you inspired.
