Making Mardi Gras Decorations-Street Lights

A 4 x 8 foot sheet of composite woods has been cut into 1 x 6 foot sections with a lamp post outlined.  The first has been cut out and is seen in the upper right. 

Two of the four cut out posts have been given their black base coat. Next up, painting the lights and making street signs for the posts.

Lights and streets are added (the lights are painted on both sides).

All four are finished and ready for the yard.
