Materials:
- Wooden sign
- Black paint
- Paint brushes
- Clear tacky glue
- White paint
- Brown paint
- Wooden letters
- Sandpaper
- Pink heart or other embellishments
Instructions:
- First, I painted the sign black.
- Then, I painted the sign with a layer of clear tacky glue.
- Without waiting, I painted over the glue with a blend of white and golden brown paint. (I didn't have off-white, but I like the streaky effect of the imcomplete mixing of the paints. It adds to the aged look.)
- You can see the surface is showing cracks already, so you need to apply the second layer of paint right away.
- Here's the finished sign board.
- I painted wood letters black and then sanded them with sandpaper for an aged look and I added a pink heart in the center.
