DIY Picket Fence Skis for Christmas

 Every time I see someone decorating with an old skis I wish I had a pair to decorate my home. With that being said, I did what I do... I made a decorative set of skis for myself!

First, I started with 2 found fence pickets.

I was lucky enough to find a bunch of new pickets wrapped up nicely in a bundle on the side of the road. 

I couldn't leave them there! 

So nice of them to bundle them for me. 😉

I painted 2 pickets with Fort York Fusion Mineral Paint and distressed the edges with a small electric sander.

This project is easy to make and takes no time! 

I used the grain sack stencil from Old Sign Stencils to quickly stencil stripes on the top and bottom of each ski. 

I use this stencil all the time!

Now it was time to put this project together. 

In the center of one ski, I added a drop of wood glue then used the nail gun to attach the skis at a slight angle.
