Reversible Wood Photo Backdrop!

Simple reversible backdrop!

Cheap blocks from a stacking game...

Using elmers glue I stuck 3 boards together...making 16 squares

Then alternated them and stuck them together...little gaps in the centers.

Like so.  Let dry completely!

This is the hardest part for me!

I stained DARK WALNUT on both sides...

Then used a cotton swab to dab a little petroleum jelly

(totally generic right?)

onto random spots on one side of the board.

Then I used my favorite color of aqua!

and did sort of a distressed dry-brush kind of job...

since I'll be distressing it anyway

Gently rub off parts where the jelly was with a soft cloth...

and presto!

2 sided awesomeness!

Linking up to THESE parties this week!
