Paint: peace, love and sandy feet sign
MY LATEST VIDEOS
Handpainted signs requested by a friend.
My friend sent me this inspiration picture of a sign she found in a shop:
And I made this version:
Here’s how I handpainted the signs:
1. Cut 1x4x8 pine board into 3 pieces, 26″ each.
Paint two coats light green:
2. Print out letters, I used Universal Accrediatation font at 275 point:
3. Line up words on painted board.
Using a ballpoint pen trace letters with heavy pressure to create indent in wood:
4. Using white acrylic, paint on and inside the indent left behind by the pen:
5. Sand to distress lettering:
6. Apply Minwax early american stain:
7. Seal with clear satin polycrylic:
8. Hammer in two sawtooth hangers on each sign:
Ready to hang:
