Arrow Art Made With a Ruler and Paint Markers

Arrows seem to be the big thing in farmhouse/cottage/industrial home art these days. Make your own arrow art with paint markers.

Arrows seem to be the big thing in farmhouse/cottage/industrial home art these days. Normally I’m not much of a band-wagon-jumper, but this arrow art is one of those trends I can totally get behind!

Traditionally a Native American symbol, arrows can actually have several meanings. Because an arrow was used to protect one’s family and to hunt, it was a tool for saving and enriching life.

An arrow can symbolize movement or direction.

Two arrows crossed is a symbol of friendship.

A bundle of arrows can signify strength – as one arrow can be easily broken but a bundle of arrows is hard to break.

Or – as in the case of my little painted sign here – arrows can just be for decoration!

Make Your Own Arrow Art with Paint Markers

Supplies

• Craft plaque 
• White paint marker
• Ruler
• Pencil
• Arrows to copy, paper and pen (optional)

Instructions

1. Doodle a few arrows on paper to get a feel for what arrows you like the look of. Or just look at my doodles. 🙂

2. Using a ruler and a pencil, mark horizontal lines on plaque.

3. Now go over those lines with paint marker.

4. Add arrow heads and fletching (tail) of the arrows.

And since you can use a ruler (and I gave you permission to copy any of my doodle arrows) this is one craft ANYONE could do!

Do you like the arrow trend? Or has another captured your eye?
