About a month ago, I helped Dad H repaint some of the wooden Christmas decorations they have for their garden. He had some extra templates, so we decided to make some for our house too. Paul and I each chose a design we liked - me, a Santa, and Paul, 2 snowmen.
Dad H and I went to Lowes to buy some wood. We selected a large piece, which an employee then cut into 3 smaller pieces for us.
When we got home, I traced the templates onto the wood.
Once that was done, Dad H cut out the shapes with his jigsaw. We didn't get it all done in one day - on Thanksgiving Day, Paul helped out.
Santa and Snowman #1 all cut out
Paul made himself useful and did some sanding :)
Next we did a white/primer base coat on each piece.
Then I traced on all of the details.
Then the painting began!
Once they were all painted, Paul screwed brackets on the back so that we could stake them in the front yard.
Finished! (Took me long enough!)
