Are you decorating with bees this season? Here is an idea for your doors or mantels! A wooden beehive doorhanger! Or it could also be a mantel or shelf sitter! We offer these wooden beehive cutouts in our Etsy shop >>HERE<< if you’re interested! Keep scrolling to see how I painted them!
Step one: Paint your surface completely
The first thing I did was paint the whole thing using a gold acrylic and a yellow chalk paint mixed together.
Step two: Outline and create your lines
Next, I used a brown paint and added the hive lines with a q-tip! Makes a perfect painting tool!
If you want to clean up your lines a little bit, use your yellow paint with a small brush for this. Basically, you just outline your brown lines with the yellow paint to smooth any rough parts because the q-tip will not leave a very clean line. You might be ok with that though. You can see the difference in the pictures above and below.
Step three: Add your bee hole
For the bee hole, I used black paint and the lid from the paint to make my circle. It was the perfect size. You can freehand this though.
After drawing out the bee hole, I used the black paint with a small brush to fill it in. Easy peasy!
Once your bee hole is painted, use the brown paint to outline it.
Step four: Add your embellishments to your wooden beehive doorhanger
Now for the really fun part! Embellishments! I drilled holes in the top of the beehive and added a wire hanger. To add the twirls, I wrapped the wire around a dowel. The words are a vinyl decal that we also offer in our shop >>HERE<< or you can just add it to your wooden beehive blank order.
Add some bees, a bow, and some flowers and you’re done! Don’t these look so fun?! I had fun painting them and I hope you will, too! Watch me painting one live on Facebook >>HERE<<!
