Make Easy Arrow Wall Art
I had good intentions of organizing my craft supplies, but I was distracted by the amount of craft scraps I was hanging on to. Decorative Paper, vinyl chalkboard contact paper, metal scraps - so instead of organizing, I decided to try to come up with a craft idea to use some of my scraps.
Did I mention that I have cardboard scraps too? Well, I pulled out some and drew a simple pattern for an arrow head and feathers.
I cut it out and used it as a template to cut arrow heads and feathers from some of my scrapbook paper, the leftover chalk board vinyl and from my copper tooling foil scraps.
I also gathered some twine, bamboo skewers, wooden beads and my trusty glue gun.
The self adhesive chalkboard paper easily attached to the cardboard. The scrapbook paper was glued. I pulled out some skewers and painted a few white, I had a few that were painted silver from a previous project and some I left as they were.
Using hot glue, I attached the arrow heads to the bamboo skewers. Then I added the beads. To keep them secure, I dabbed on a bead of hot glue where I wanted the bead to be to hold them in place. Then I attached the feather pieces.
For the rustic arrows, I used copper tooling foil. These were sturdy enough that I did not need to glue them to the cardboard templates.
