A Rustic Star

The other day I found this rustic 30" star at the Craft Warehouse after trying to find one for several months. I've been wanting one to paint pink and put some roses on it. I would have liked to use a decal but I think it would fade in the light so I am going to handpaint some on this and hang it out front somewhere. This is how far I've gotten today though.

It's actually pink but the sun was so bright the photo didn't come out as I wanted it to.

This is the true color. Funny how that worked out in the photos.

  4. That looks adorable! I have seen them in many colors, but never pink! You should have been at the
    4th of July parade with me, there was an old Ford pick-up from the
    40s or 50s and it was painted the cutest shade of pink! You would have loved it!

    Have a happy day!

  7. I Love the rustic star both before & after the paint job. I had read somewhere the when you hang a star it is for someone who served or is serving in the military... Don't know if that is accurate not but thought it was neat... You always put a fun twist on things... Love Ya
