Christmas Forest

11/30/2012

This year for Christmas, we decided not to get a tree. I am low on Christmas decorations, so I decided to head over to Michaels and see what I could find to fill the void. I came across these little wooden laser cut trees on sale and the Christmas forest was born.

Originally, I wanted to silver leaf these little guys, but the $9 price tag plus the cost of adhesive was a little much (I'm cheap). Then I came across silver leaf liquid and decided to give it a try. So, here is my process:

Materials:
* Wooden Trees
* Liquid Leaf
* Small Foam Brush
* Acrylic Paint
* 1/4" Paint Brush

On the directions for the liquid leaf, it says you need to prime the object before liquid leafing it. So I busted out my acrylic paints and did two coats, but sanded the trees after the first coat because they were a little rough. Once the paint dried, I opened up the liquid leaf. It really stinks so you need to be in a well ventilated area. I got a bit of a head ache from it. Anyway, I used the 1/4" paint brush to paint the front of the trees. I let that dry overnight, which isn't necessary, but I did. Then I set them up on my TV stand. I'm thinking I will add something made from felt around the bases to help it stand out a bit.

As an update, I later added felt flowers to little forest.
