Use Multi-Surface Acrylics to create a stained effect on a home décor piece.

SUPPLIES

• sandpaper
• soft cloth
• pencil
• small round brush
• large flat brush
• white transfer paper
• wooden sign
• cup hooks
• small flat brush

INSTRUCTIONS

NOTES:

Let dry completely between painting steps.

1. If needed, sand the sign for a smooth finish. (The smoother the wood is, the better staining effect you achieve.)

2. Mix together brown and black to create a dark brown. Brush the mix onto one slat of the wooden sign at a time. Before the paint dries, wipe back the paint to reveal the wood grain. Repeat until the entire sign is covered.

3. Transfer the provided pattern onto the sign. Using a flat and a round brush, paint in the pattern using an off-white. Use a dry-brush technique to get the sunrays to fade.

4. Sand the sign surface lightly, concentrating on the text and sun painted white.

5. Screw cup hooks as desired into the bottom of the sign to hang coffee cups.
