INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Let dry completely between painting steps.
- Sand the arrow surface, if needed. Remove any dust with a paper towel.
- Tape off the first color and paint inside the tape lines. Let dry. Repeat this process, taping and painting each color. (We used stripes of Cameo, Lace, and Legacy.)
- Print out the word that you would like to use. Put a sheet of transfer paper down on the painted arrow and then the printed lettering. Tape down, if desired.
- Trace the lettering with a pencil or stylus.
- Use a permanent marker to color in the letters.
- Using sandpaper, distress the sign.
- Paint a small area at a time with Golden Brown Crème Wax and quickly wipe off the wax, leaving just a little on the wood.
