Items you will need:

  • Plywood
  • Jigsaw
  • Paint (we used Contemplate, Spearmint and Ash Grey by Haymes)
  • Masking tape
  • Paint brush
  • Ruler
  • Pencil
  • Sandpaper

Steps:

1. Draw out several arrows in various sizes on your plywood. Tip: the larger you make your arrows, the easier they will be to cut.

2. Use your jigsaw to cut out the arrows. Depending on how neat your cuts are, you may need to lightly sand your arrows.

3. Create patterns on your arrows using masking tape — be creative and try mixing stripes, block colour and other patterns.

4. Paint the arrows in colours to suit your nursery scheme — it looks great to leave a mix of natural ply too.
