Pottery Barn Knock off~Dino Art

 

Inspiration 

 

 Image I used to trace

(Well my printer is broken so I had to free hand it)

This project took less than 2 hrs and was FREE! 

Items used:

Old Burlap rug, paint, pine board,glue

I traced the dino on the back of an old rug with a sharpie, 

cut it out and painted it!

 My hubby has a stash of wood pieces in the garage.

I found a perfect piece of 24"x36" pine board

(Hope he wasn't saving it for anything..hehehe)

I raided my paint closet and found some white and brown.

I first painted a thin layer of white.....I wanted some of the wood to show through without having to sand.

Then I painted on a brown wash 

(water with a few drops of brown paint)

and wiped it off with a dry rag.

I went with the grain of the wood.

I then used the brown to put a few spots on my dino and dry brushed some brown on the edges and a few areas on the board.

Then I just glued my dino to the board with some gorilla glue.

  I LOVE the 3-D effect and the frayed torn edges.

I'm telling you the pictures just don't do this dino justice! 

Check out all the places I party!
