Once your cookies are baked and cooled, the decorating part is really easy and the cookies turn into cute little sheepies in no time!.

Wear your painting clothes the whole time and just plan to be a general mess.At first, each pack of 6 beadboard strips was taking me about 45 mins total to get done, but it was spread out over a couple of hours including drying time.

I was thinking originally that I could just set aside 5 minutes per coat and kind of do it without making a mess hopefully in between all of my regular activities.Well, then it took much longer than 5 minutes per coat (more like 20-25) and sometimes I was wearing clothes that I didn’t want to risk getting painty, because the whole process was a lot drippier than I expected, so it just wasn’t convenient to get done in my day-to-day life.Then I took a weekend and made it my “painting weekend” and things got done.

I was already set up and in my painting clothes, just went to the room I was working in for 15 minutes at a time or so, then went and did something else for 15 minutes while it dried, then went back.I did 12 packs in one weekend and got a lot done around the house too!

So dedicate the time.

It’s not as little of a painting job as it seems..Braided twine doily/place mat.

A bowl made from twine and white glue..This one turned out so well and was so easy to do.

I really should make like 50 more of these.. DIY storage bin made from a cardboard box.with twine to give it a baskety look.. Twine-wrapped trash can.
