Chevron summer mantle

Happy Memorial Day!
Today we're sharing Kelli's most recent addition to her summer mantel that was recently seen in The CSI Project's chevron challenge:

Pin It

These fun decor pieces are a cheap way to dress up that summer mantel.  All you need is wood and paint:


1. Cut pine wood down to 3 7"x24" strips.
2. Lightly brush white acrylic on wood strips.
3. Cut out a chevron stencil (freehand if you don't have a cutter).




4. Cover wood with stencil.
5. Take off transfer tape.
6. Paint each wood strip desired paint color. We adore lime, aqua and coral combined at the moment.
7. Peel off stencil, revealing completed chevron decor.




We love how easy this project was to complete.  In just a couple of hours and you have a nice backdrop for a summer mantel or a table.




So bright and cheery to welcome guests into my home.  {It's fun paired with my summer blocks and command station I created last year.}

Hope you all enjoyed your long weekend and have a safe celebration bar-b-que this afternoon!
