My kids share a room. For over two years Mags has had her room decorated with birds. I felt like Jackson had to have his own style. Though the room will never make it to HGTV, I still enjoy making things for each child. Here is the first decoration I created for baby Jack's theme - Dinosaurs!!
I was inspired by a wooden painting of a dinosaur in the Pottery Barn catalog. I plan on doing a whole wall of different dinosaur and monogrammed things but so far this is my first piece.
I hand drew the dinosaur using a pencil and then painted him in with some vibrant robins egg blue. I added spots using a burnt red. The "j" was created by cutting out a stencil with my Cricut. Finally, I sanded the edges of the whole thing and dry brushed on the same red paint in an attempt to give it a rusty, aged look. It will hang using an "alligator teeth" picture frame hanger that I will hammer to the back. Can't wait to make more of these!
