Thanks in ane trial again for all of your variety comments on my Valentine Mantel, I actually appreciate each together with everyone of them. These arrows were business office of the mantel display, together with every bit promised this shipping service contains the instructions on how yous tin brand them.
I went for a rustic await on my mantel, the erstwhile window, the crackled heart, the erstwhile patina on the beaded hearts... The arrows had to move rustic also I couldn't become for feathers together with cute pinky stuff, simply yous tin vary the directions to your ain needs.
- Round dowels (¼ x 48) - Each dowel makes 2 arrows.
- Paint -spray pigment and/or acrylic paints.
- Small department of air ducting
- Scissors
- Brush
- Hand saw
- Hot mucilage gun
- Gloves
Each dowel was cutting inwards 2 (random lengths), mainly because I wanted my arrows to move proportionate to the fine art piece on the mantel. If yous desire smaller arrows yous tin cutting each dowel inwards 3 parts.
Then, they were all spray painted, yous tin role acrylic paints too, simply I intend it goes faster alongside spray paint. Two coats of chocolate-brown together with to a greater extent than or less yellowish together with orangish specks were added to hand them an erstwhile vibe.
For the arrow-heads together with fletching I used metallic air ducting. I've been using this same piece to create wire basket, together with thus I decided to role the same remaining cloth for the arrows. This cloth is potent simply it cuts nicely alongside scissors, role gloves land cutting it.
The corrugated border gave to a greater extent than or less of the arrow-heads a actually overnice texture.
Bend each piece inwards half.
Again, because of the rustic await I was going for, each metallic business office was painted aureate and/or nighttime silvery tones. Once dry, they tin move hot glued past times sandwiching 2 arrow-head pieces to ane goal of the dowel, together with the fletching to the other end.
As a concluding exceptional yous tin also add together bits of color to the arrow shaft.
I similar that they are strong. The pointy arrow-heads are non going to curvature easily.
They are instantly adorning my Valentine mantel, simply they tin move role inwards close whatever setting.
The leather tassel accessory was recycled from an erstwhile lady bag. ;)
