Wednesday's What I Found - Super Easy Snowman Saw

Ok, I got these round sponges over the weekend with the strong desire to paint me some snowmen.

 So, I was literally walking around the house this morning looking for something to paint snowmen on!!!  When I spotted these handsaws that I picked up at ReStore over the summer, I knew they would be perfect!

I dry-sponged (got the sponged wet with paint and then dabbed it off on paper) the entire saw giving it a snowy look.

Then I painted my snow mens' bodies.  These sponges make it really easy...although my first one turned out a little chubby...oh well, he'll fit right in around here!

After the paint dried, I took a paint pen and wrote my phrase..."Let it Snow".  You obviously could use whatever phrase you like...that's just the one that popped into my head.

 Next, I gave the snowmen arms, buttons, and faces with permanent marker and then top coated it with a clear coat.

This didn't take anytime at all and will make a nice gift, I think.

I painted another one to have something on hand just in case I forgot someone on my list or maybe I'll keep it for myself.  It looks nice next to my toolbox!

Blessings,
