What I love about the wood USA home decor piece is the ability to customizable this for a gift, for yourself, for the camper even.

* Use this as a wishlist for all those adventures yet to be traveled.

* Paint the shaker to resemble your camper and add your name to the door.  How cute would that be!

Instructions to Make the Camper Shaker

Step 1.  Paint the background chipboard piece with white acrylic paint.  I used a sea sponge because I find it very easy to dab the paint onto the chipboard.

Step 2.  Block off part of the shaker base by taping paper over the base.  NOTE:  Do not place tape directly on the painted chipboard.  You may risk peeling the painted layer off when you remove the tape.

Step 3.  Block off the bottom of the shaker base by taping paper over the base.  Worth noting again:Do not place tape directly on the painted chipboard.  You may risk peeling the painted layer off when you remove the tape.

 I do like using the sponge to dab the paint because it's very easy to paint without risking getting paint under the paper.

Step 4.  Paint the remaining pieces of the shaker with acrylic paint as desired.  I used silver paint.  LET DRY completely before gluing together.

Fill the shaker with fun and fabulous shaker mix.  I used Firecracker Sprinkletz mix from Buttons Galore.  They have a great selection and really help add magic to my shakers.

This is the second in my America Home Decor series, "Freedom Isn't Free".  You can see the first home decor piece right here.
