I guess it was pretty obvious, as I am on a bit of an Easter roll, that I would make a few Easter easels this year ………
…….. but don’t worry ……….
……. I’m not going to bore you with all the grisly details all over again ………
……. as I think the two posts and these photos will be enough to get an idea of how they are put together.
Before I got started I gave the blackboard part of the easels (ordered on eBay from China) two coats of clear varnish to prevent the yellow acrylic paint pen from bleeding into the wood.
I also swopped the ladybirds, used previously, for little wooden bees instead.
Along with the basket, varnished to helped the colours pop a little more, I also added a touch of faux stitching round the blackboard using a black biro to stop any bleeding, to bring it all together.
I’m really pleased with how these turned out and no doubt, among a few other bits and pieces, Iris and Bertie will get one each for their Easter bedrooms.
