Baby Squirrel Cross

Oh So Adorable
Squirrel Cross!


Perfect for little boy's room.
In this project I used a combination of paint and craft paper
to achieve this super cute look! 
Have fun and great creative!






What You Will Need:
4. Craft paper
5. Tan and turquoise spray paint
6. Black and green spray paint, (I used forest green)
7. Sponge brush
8. Bristle brush 



Step 1:
Paint the sides of the largest cross a dark green.
(Tip: If you don't have dark green just use a light green and black)



Step 2:
Spray paint the smallest cross turquoise.



Step 3:
Spray paint the squirrel tan.



Step 4:
Distress the squirrel with the bristle brush and black paint.



Step 5:
With the bristle brush, use black paint to highlight the edges of the cross.  Just lightly brush the sides. 


Step 6:

Spray 3M spray adhesive all over the cross 
and allow to sit for 10 seconds. 




Step 7:
Then put the paper on the cross.




Step 8:
Then use an X acto knife to trace around the cross and remove excess paper. 




Step 9:
Then use E6000 and hot glue to attach the pieces.  
(Note: Hot glue acts as a temporary hold while the E6000 dries.)
And....
Waalaa
CUTENESS!!!
