VIDEO: Tinker door sign from scraps of wood
Your door sign should match you and your home
- The first thing to think about is what your door hanger should look like. For example, you can opt for bright Colours decide to use an old wooden doormat and the word "welcome" should be seen in many languages. Or maybe you want to include your surname or special motives. Depending on your taste and the colors that suit you.
- First, prime your wooden base. The shabby chic style is particularly popular. Prime the board with white paint. Then use a very dry brush to apply light green, yellow and gray in the direction of the grain on the wood. You can also work with an old dishwashing sponge for this. You should be economical with the paint so that it is not applied too thickly and produces the desired effect.
- In the time the paint dries, prepare the letters. Paint felt letters, letters made of polymer clay or Russian bread in the color of your choice. Acrylic paints, poster paints or normal wall paints are suitable for this. When the letters are dry, glue them to scraps of wood; the elevation of the letters will give your sign a nice three-dimensional appearance.
- To make the background of your door sign even more lively, glue torn serviette pieces to the wooden surface with simple wallpaper paste. If you only take the top layer of the napkin, the color will shine through underneath. Finally, glue the letter parts on with wood glue and let everything dry well.
