Beachy Sea Horse boards
For my sarcastic welcome boards, I was overly ambitious. I had great plans of making 16 of those for friends, family and maybe a few to sell. I painted my little heart out and managed to get 16 of the fully painted with polka dots and stripes. I began cutting and getting the vinyl ready, if you have ever done vinyl the peeling process can get very tedious! The end result was I actually only finished 6 of the sarcastic welcome boards. Well at least I got some of them done! Here I was with 10 painted ready to go darling boards. I needed to do something with them. I have been loving all of the beach themed décor, I am seeing around. The colors I had painted these boards fit right in that beach theme. I had purchased some gold vinyl and decided to cut some sea horses out of the gold vinyl, and place it on some of these pre-painted boards.
I love how they came out. By far this was one of my easiest craft ventures. One tip I will give, if you purchase any metallic vinyl, The vinyl is stiff and foil like. Normally I can cut vinyl with my blade adjusted at a 2. I had to adjust my blade to a 3 to get it to cut all the way through the vinyl. Just to save you a little heartache! I had to cut and re-cut a few times until I figured out the right adjustment. Give these cute sea horse boards a try. They will defiantly brighten up your summer décor!

I live near the beach, so this would fit right in with most of the decor we all have. I love how these came out.

I really like them – I used to live at the shore and they would have been perfect for my house there. But why are they sarcastic?

Patty, the sarcastic one’s I was referring to were in the blog post before. I just painted extra boards for the sarcastic one’s and had leftover boards to paint these sea horses on.

These are so cute! My mom has a house at the beach and is always looking for beachy decor. I think I’ll make these to surprise her when we go to visit this summer!

Oh, how beautiful! I have a beach inspired living room, so I definitely wouldn’t mind doing something like this sometime.
