Cow Printables: DIY Farmhouse Art
Add instant farmhouse appeal to your home by creating country style wall art with a pair of vintage cow printables. Enjoy these soft images of beautiful cows in peaceful fields during the summertime.
Today I’m joining a group of bloggers to share free printables for you to use and enjoy. A special thank you to Krista at The Happy Housie for organizing this creative and fun event! It gave me the motivation I needed to fill a blank wall in my house.
After spending time looking for artwork above my white secretary desk, I decided to make my own.
In about one hour, you too can enjoy new artwork for your home that cost of fraction of what you’d spend in a home decor store. You’ll need two 9″ x 12″ wood plaques, wood stain, decoupage glue (like Mod Podge), frame hangers, and the cow printables which you can download at the end of this post.
Stain the outer edges of your wood plaques and let them dry. Cut out the printables. They’re sized so a bit of wood will be showing if you use 9″ x 12″ plaques. You can always resize them for a different size plaque.
Apply a thin coat of Mod Podge to the front of the wood plaque and carefully lay the cow print on top. Gently smooth the print onto the wood plaque, using your fingertips or the flat edge of a credit card to smooth out any air bubbles. Don’t apply too much pressure – you don’t want to rip the paper.
After the glue dries (less than an hour), you can attach the frame hangers to the back of the plaques. Then hang on the wall and enjoy!
Now I can stop looking for artwork to hang in this corner.
I love the vintage appeal of these cow printables that I found at The Graphics Fairy.

Such a fun project, Jennifer! Thank you so much for sharing! Have a wonderful week!
Love the cows, but I adore the color of your walls. I am planning on painting my 4th bedroom and I think this would be the color.
What is the name and who makes it…
Cows are the best and these do look old, which makes them even better. Thanks Jennifer.MM
So fun! I love doing wood transfer projects and those cows are so cute!!
These are awesome, Jennifer! What a brilliant idea! Thanks for joining in on this hop, friend! Happy summer!
This is GREAT! I’ve been working on my “cow” themed powder room for a few months now, and one of these will fill in that last empty space! Thanks so much for this timely post!
I haven’t been to your site in some time…with Covid and other things going on in life I just didn’t make the time to look at all your new decorating. Your farmhouse and everything else you have shared is just wonderful to look at. I enjoy the DIY section…gave me some great ideas for Spring and Summer….a favorite season of mine! Thank you for helping and sharing with all of us…your ideas and other homes. Very inspiring and glad I am back waiting anxiously for more!
