How can i make a lighthouse
This month our challenge was using any of the new 2oz Americana Decor Outdoor Living Paints for an outdoor project. This outdoor paint has alway been in an 8oz jar, but they just released the new 2oz size for smaller projects.
It totally was! This looks perfect sitting in my front flower bed, and it matches the Hose Stand I made last year using the Outdoor Living Paint as well. I started off painting all my pots white. I needed a total of three coat, letting each coat dry 5 minutes. I went around the bottom of each pot with the Poolside color. I needed a total of two coats for this step. You can use the saucer upright—filling with rocks, shells, or sea glass—or upside down, depending on the look you want.
Add decorative accent colors such as horizontal bands by painting the rims of the pots and saucers in contrasting colors. Add doors, windows, and other features with paint, permanent markers, or by gluing on beach finds such as sea pottery pieces, sea glass, or shells. Glue on rocks, ropes, shells, etc. Be as creative as you like! Turn the largest pot upside down and glue the base if you are using one , then glue successively smaller pots on top.
If you want to add the topper and you are adding a candle or battery-operated tea light, be sure to leave a way to light them up. Spray with waterproof sealer if you will be using your lighthouse outside, or regular acrylic spray if you would like it to be shiny. Let it shine Your lighthouse can be used in the garden, on a terrace, on the windowsill, as a table centerpiece, or as a coastal accent anywhere in your home.
TIPS Cover your work area. If using E adhesive, make sure you tape heavier things in place after gluing or leave horizontal until glue has set.
