You'll need to Three and a half inch cedar wood fence. Last one 1, by 2 for a board wood glue, or 1 inch pin Nails, a pin nailer and compressor miter saw hand sander or sandpaper. Stain Bragg's. Razor and large paper, outline of chosen silhouette a Sharpie pen, white paint and brushes. We cut these boards into 17 inch long pieces. You should get four pieces out of every cedar fence, lat next, cut the 1 by 2, Furrow board into nineteen and a half inch long pieces. These will be the back braces to the board. Then I aligned to of the one by two boards parallel on your workspace. About one foot apart from each other. I'll play six of the 17 inch cedar boards across the 1 by 2's overlapping the Edge by about 3/4 of an

Inch. So that your back braces won't show, make sure you know, the order you want them in and the side that you want showing before beginning to nail them, in then we'll use the pin nailer to secure the boards to the back braces. Now, it's time to sand it down. We use 100, grit sandpaper, for this project. Be sure. And sand the edges on both the back and the front as well as all the sides before. Staining, I make sure the boards are free from any Saw dust from the sanding process.

For the staining process. I like to apply with Rags, Home Depot, sells a 10 pound bag of rag bits. That's lasted me through countless projects, senior board in the direction of the wood grain, and don't forget the edges and the backs of your back braces, basically, stain. Anything that might be visible. I like to let the stain set and dry all day or overnight for our project. Today. I'll be painting one of our favorite Silhouettes, a moose that we've lovingly named Mudge. Judge, I made it by printing out the silhouette of a moose and then cut it out with a razor. I simply trace the outline using a Sharpie pen. Now, it's time to paint because the special Walnut stain that I'm using is very dark and Rich. I'm going to use a bright white paint, that will really pop up and off the board and make a statement. Begin by painting your silhouette outline and angled small brush works. Well for the outline work, then fill it in.

 They need to apply two to three additional coats to get a bright solid. Look, this paint happens to be my house trim color. I'm using it because it's what I happen to have on hand. Don't be afraid to substitute with this project whether it be a different wood style paint or stain. Sometimes the beauty of a DIY project is knowing that what you made for your home or for a friend was with supplies. You already had on hand and didn't have to purchase. I am all about being Thrifty when the paint has dried. I Either gently sand, the edges of the board for a more distressed look or I leave them. If I want a clean crisp design, my husband and I first made these boards to fill a large empty family room wall in our home. I was so thrilled with how they turned out and how they told a piece of our family story. Pretty soon. We had friends asking us, if we'd make them a set of silhouette boars. We decided to open up an Etsy shop and somehow we've now made well over 100.

With order still coming in, I think Nellie does such an amazing job with this project. I went ahead and made a couple Christmassy boards to show you just how versatile this project can be. I use the wider 5 and 8 inch boards and just because the project so big, the gold board is about 38 inches long and the white ones 41 inches. And since I only made a couple, I just use the ends of my cedar boards as my back braces and used to drill with small screws to attach them to the back. I attached, the wreath on the gold, one with liquid nails, and the wreath on the Whiteboard is just attached by little. Hook. And that way, I can switch it up for freshman every year which I thought was kind of fun. Just use what you have on hand. That's the fun part about it. We hope that you are feeling inspired to tackle. One of these floors on your own by watching this, but if you would like a beautiful custom-made board delivered, right to your door.
