I thought I’d show you our “real” outdoor decorations though as well.
Chris picked up some 1×12 rough cut pine.The roughness of it gives it extra farmhousey appeal!
We cut it down into 5″ strips.You can do any size you like, we just went with a size that would cover up our existing shutters.We made our shutters 3 boards wide and then put one board across the top and the bottom for a classic look.. Then we clamped them all together and secured it all with a few screws.. We cut a couple of little measury pieces to put up against the top and bottom cross pieces so we could make sure they were the same distance from the ends on both sides.
We didn’t want any shifting to happen while we were adding the screws!.We ended up with two perfect shutters.. Next we just painted them grey and hung them by screwing them straight into the existing shutters.. Bam!
This really is one of the easiest little building projects you can do and it’s a great one for beginners, but what an impact it makes!
If you feel like your house could use a bit of a curb appeal boost, why not try adding some shutters in a color you love?.Anyway, I got to the part where I had painted the lid and I was ready to move on to assembling the whole thing.. Lookin’ good, lid!
Time to pick you up and put you on your jar!here’s how to clean spray paint off of skin.
The weather was a little cooler that day so even though I thought I had let it dry long enough, the chilliness was preventing the paint from setting.But I wanted to use it now!
