Painted Boat Oars
In this post I will show you how I painted wooden boat oars in a funky beach way!
Today I’m participating in an amazing Summer Celebration blog hop!
My summer project has been on my to do list for a looooong time now. I just needed a kick in the butt to get it done and this was the kick in the butt that I needed.
Today I’m sharing how I painted some wooden boat oars in a funky, beachy way.
These rowing boat oars were left behind in our previous old house. I have another set too that are much bigger. I’ve had them on our dining room wall before but I’ve always wanted to paint them.
I received this wave Frog Tape Shape Tape in my Haven swag bag last year and couldn’t figure out what to make with it.
A wave on an oar is perfect!
I taped up both sides and overlapped it on the end.
The Frog Tape is perfect to cut because it has a ruler printed on it.
Make sure to use regular Frog Tape at the end of the wave tape.
Next I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® in the gorgeous color of Aubusson Blue and French Linen.
First I painted on Aubusson, then French Linen, then sanded it down to reveal both colors.
I finished it off with the Clear Wax.
Looks amazing, right?
These wooden boat oars look great in my son’s room!
LOVE the colors you used and the wave pattern is perfect!
