Muffin Grouchy Granny Christmas
Look out bugalugs, grouchy granny coming through!
You all asked, and I can’t believe I left her out. Tbh, I was worried the cold would make her hips hurt, but you insisted!
Introducing Gladys (Muffin) to our outdoor Bluey Christmas decorations and I’m obsessed!🥰😍
What you need:
*Ply wood
*Outdoor acrylic paint (can be found at Michael’s,
*Downloaded Muffin file (prints in poster size of 27 inches) right below👇
Step 1: print out the file I have attached! It’s free and slightly pixelated but it’ll do! Cut it out like puzzle pieces and tape it together.
Step 2: stencil onto wood with a pencil, doing outer layers and cutting off pieces working towards the inside. You could probably use a projector much easier, but this was free and worked for me🤷♀️
Step 3: trace over all of it with a sharpie or black paint pen. This is crucial or you will lose all your stenciling when you prime.
Step 4: Cut out shape using a jigsaw
Step 5: apply a thin coat of primer to all sides.
Step 6: paint🥰😁 My favorite part. I’ll attach colors I used below.
Step 7: second coat of paint. Maybe third if necessary.
step 8: seal with a polyurethane
Step 9: create your yard stake. Ace sells them or you can make your own. My husband glued strips of wood to the back to screw the wooden stakes into!
Paint colors: go to michaels and grab some outdoor acrylic paint! $.50/tube and you will only need one of each color. I used: red, dark green, black, and white. She was actually harder to paint than bluey and Bingo because of the various shades of gray she has! I never realized until painting.
