You Are My Sunshine - FREE

DIY - You Are My Sunshine

The wall it was meant for 
White on White Room
This is a DIY artpiece I did one afternoon for my not-yet-born daughter. I used only materials I had around the house. 
MATERIAL USED:
Plywood (preferred size)
Acrylic Paint
Ruler
Pencil
Burlap
Hot Glue Gun
Ric Rac (white ribbon shown)
I drew out the design lightly with pencil then painted it in with watered down acrylic paint. I wanted the texture of the plywood to show through. The next day after it had dried, I applied the burlap to act as a frame. I was sure to neatly tuck in the corners and glue generously. The last step was to add the ric rac with more hot glue and hang. Presto! Decor for FREE!
