INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Let dry completely between painting steps.
- Apply a coat of Everlasting to the front and sides of the wood. (A light coat will give it a bit of a whitewash effect. Apply an additional coat of more coverage.)
- Apply painter's tape, leaving a 1/2" border at the top and bottom of the sign front. Using a soft cloth, apply Champagne Ice to the exposed 1/2" borders and to the sign edges. Buff to shine using a clean area of the cloth.
- Apply painter's tape next to the Champagne Ice border to create a 1/4" border. Paint a stripe in Rouge using a small flat brush. (Refer to photo.) Remove tape.
- Use a pencil to lightly sketch word art as desired onto the front of the sign. Use a #5 round brush to draw in wording in Rouge. Using sandpaper, lightly sand the sign surface to create a distressed look to the paint and sign edges. (Do not sand Champagne Ice areas.) Use a #5 round brush and Champagne Ice to add accents to wording.
- Accent the edges of sign with holly and swirly flourishes made with Rouge and Champagne Ice. (Refer to photo.)
- Drill holes for small hooks at the bottom edge of the sign for stockings. Screw into place by hand. Add hardware to back of sign to hang, as desired.
