Large Cow Head Shiplap Shape

Hello everyone!  It's Jennifer on the blog today to share one of the new Shiplap Shapes that were recently released!  How adorable are these home decor pieces?  I used the Large Cow Head Shiplap Shape to create a fun door hanger and I'm going to show you my techniques. 

I began by painting the middle of my Shiplap Shape with chalk paint in off white. I did not worry so much about having perfect borders but did ensure there was adequate coverage.  

Once my paint was dry, I added two strips of painters tape as shown.  I tried to space my tape evenly apart (but it does not have to be perfect). 

Next, I used chalk paint in black to cover the outside edges of my Shiplap Shape. I found adding two coats of the paint covered the wood nicely. 

Using my Silhouette and a fun font, I cut out a sentiment on black vinyl.   Once I  finished weeding my letters, I used transfer tape to apply the sentiment to my wood.  

Here is a close up of the finished sentiment! 

For accent, I added ribbon, eucalyptus, and a button to the right ear of the Cow Head.  I  affixed all of the above using my hot glue gun.  I then added some thicker rope in order to hang my creation!
