Chevron Longhorn

IMG_1333

This frame is my next item up for re-use.  The back support of this frame broke a few years ago...Since I like the front of this frame, I decided to keep it for later.  Well now it's time for a new use.

I started with some left over fabric I had laying around.

I then traced a chevron, Texas, and longhorn pattern on my Silhouette.  See this post for a how-to on tracing.  I then cut them out using contact paper.  Here is the settings I used to cut out the contact paper.  You can click here to see a tutorial on cutting Contact paper with the Silhouette.  After cutting, I put the Texas pattern down first in order to get a good seal.  I then put the chevron pattern on top.

Here's what it looks like after a coat of grey acrylic paint.

I then took the remainder of the Texas cutout and laid it down in place.  I had to put a longhorn in the shape.  It's just second nature!!

And there we have it!   This was a quick
project and  it  required very few items.
