Let’s make it!
I used Apothecary to paint the base coat of my flowers, on front and back and around the edges.
I painted the detailed layer white, but kinda rough because I’m going to distress it.
Whenever I have tiny parts to paint, I use a strip of masking tape to hold them. It makes it so much easier!
TIP: Keep them on the tape for sanding if you want a distressed look.
I used scrapbook paper for the center circles. I just traced the shapes onto my paper, cut them out and used Mod Podge to adhere them, then sanded the edges.
I sanded the front and back of all of my painted pieces.
And then gently dabbed the ink pad over the yellow center just to give it a textured look.
Clothespins are great for holding my wood pieces together while the glue dries.
I used the ink pad to distress the edges of the accents, petals and leaves.
And here they are! Such a pretty accent to your spring and summer decor, and don’t forget that you can also create another set of these to gift them to someone special! These would be adorable on a dorm room windowsill!
TIP: Don’t glue the stand pieces (leaves) together so you can put them away to make room for other Lizzy and Erin Woodshop releases like Halloween and Christmas.
Let me know in the comments how you might paint your flower trio! I appreciate each and every one of you, and thanks so much for stopping by!
