A Joyful Riot

A Large Gathering of Happy Things

Stag Head Wall Art

June 18, 2014 ·

I love big wall art DIY projects. Especially ones that can be done on the cheap like this one and incorporates wood.

    Materials

  • Wood board (mine is 24″ x 24″ and was $5 from Home Depot) //
  • Wood Stain //
  • Paintbrush //
  • Paint (one for the main color and one for the quote) //

1. Stain your wood board. I used Varathane American Walnut and did two coats. I usually use a rag to apply the stain to the wood but this time I used a section of felt and it worked really well!

Apply the stain in the direction of the wood grain and apply evenly.

I printed out the stag head and used it to guide my outline.
