Frosty Snowman Face

This was a plain, glass cube used for wall dividers and such.

Since it had a cold, frosty look to it I wanted to paint a snowman

face on it.

I went onto Pinterest and searched for Snowman Faces.

I found one I loved and just started painting it on

with acrylics.

After I finished the painting, I used a Rust oleum clear coat spray paint and gave the paint a

sealed finished.

 

Dollar Tree Cutting boards $1.25 each

 

These cute gingerbread man signs first started their life

as the $1.25 cutting boards at the Dollar Tree.

I liked the wood, so I started painting on the for Christmas.

One of them I hand painted a Gingerbread man.

The other I burned a Gingerbread House with my laser 

and then painted it.

I added all kinds of little pine combs and berries.

The Grinch Tree with Signs

THE GRINCH TREE

with Mini Signs 

I have been having alot of fun

making twists with the usual

only green trees of the Grinch.

I veered out and did a bright red one here

to scream Christmas and Grinch even more loudly.

I do believe I love the greens better, but this is

a little different and it may catch someone's eye

in my Booth#555 at Morehead Peddlers Mall.

Here's some photos below of how I started and ended.

The little signs are real little signs I made out of smaller

pieces of wood and attached them as if the

Grinch may have nailed them on.

How to make a Reindeer Door Hanger or Sign

Rudolph the Door Hanger

I started off with some 1/4" plywood.

I cut the shape out after I freehanded a 

deer face with huge, cartoony antlers and ears.

I did a base coat primer.  Let it dry completely.

Even though it is so hard to not just jump right in and start

on the colors, you have to go ahead with the primer step.

This will ensure the longevity of your items. 

Then I started the base coat of light brown.

Next, I finally got to start with the fun parts.

The eyes, nose and mouths are always my favorite.

I prefer to make them whimsical for the festival season.

Just keep it simpe.

 Don't overthink when painting a face.

I also go back and do the wide brush strokes on 

all kinds of the corners.  Just to add a light color 

contrast on top of the dark.

Then a small line of dark to bring the eye in.

This is the ear up close.

It is not that much too it when you break it 

down line for line.

I chose to do stripes like a candy cane on the antlers

to keep them fun.

I had inspiration from browsing on pinterest

for varying ideas and just kinda

combined them all in my mind to

what I wanted.

I added the hat brim of a Santa hat also

to make it appear the antlers are a

Santas hat.

 

Take a look around my Peddlers Mall Booth

 Have you ever been to a Peddlers Mall?

These are various ways I have styled my craft booth.

Each week they get moved and mixed around.

Nothing stays in the same place very long.
