I am sharing a fun DIY with you today; this will be part of my Easter mantel.

Here are the supplies I am using:

• 1 tri-fold project board – Dollar Tree
• tape measure
• yard stick
• pencil
• scissors or utility knife
• duct tape
• something round to trace scallops
• paint

Faux Awning Decoration

Step 1 – Measure your space

Using a tape measure to figure out the size you need to make your awning.  Measure width and length.

For my measurements, I am measuring the width and the length of my two doors.

Take the project board and measure out the width you need.  I taped two pieces to each end of the project board to fit width of my mirror.

Using duct tape to add the additional board pieces.

Step 2 – Draw your shape

To create a drape with scallops I traced around a candle holder.

I created a pattern in the measurements of 7 inches tall and 43 1/2 inches wide.  To keep my awning on the mirror I made tabs to tuck behind the mirror.

Step 4 – Shaping your board

To create the drape, I measured 3 inches from the scalloped edge, marked and drew a line.

I bent the board on the line to create a drape to the awning.

Step 3 – Cut out the pattern

Step 5 – Create the sides

I measured the length of my front awning and the drape of the scallops, cutting two triangles for the side.  Using duct tape, I added the sides to the front awning.

I added it to the mirror for a trial run.

Step 6 – Painting the awning

To decorate the awning, I drew lines to create panels.  To give it an awning look I painted the sections with black and white craft paint.

I painted the underneath solid black.

To hang the awning to my mirror, I tucked in the tabs behind the mirror.

Ignore the top of the mirror frame, I will have that covered later.  Look how cute!
