Hobby Lobby- Sign Hack!

Hey, everybody! It’s Tracey from Tracey’s Fancy here! I’m going to show you how to create a DIY sign using a helpful hack!

Materials:

• Tea Rose Chalk Mineral Paint
• Saltwater Silk All-In-One Mineral Paint
• Collard Greens Chalk Mineral Paint
• BOSS in White
• BOSS in Gray
• White Chalk
• Ruler
• Top Coat in Flat
• Chip Brush
• Fine Mister Spray Bottle
• Artist Brushes

How To:

Step 1:

First, prime the sign with white BOSS and add a coat of gray BOSS after the first coat dries. (The extra coat is to make sure the previous lettering was blocked out.)

Step 2:

After, once the BOSS dries, cover with 1 coat of Tea Rose.

Step 3:

Next, introduce Collard Greens around the edges using the mister bottle and a stippling blending technique.

Step 4:

Then, I used a ruler to draw lines with my chalk so the name stays straight on the sign. Draw the name and then draw the flowers!

Step 5:

After that, use Saltwater to trace the name onto the sign with a small angled brush. Paint each flower with the Saltwater as well.

Step 6: (optional)

I chose to add more color to the flowers by using a very watered-down version of Marigold, Terracotta, and a deep green hue.

Step 7:

Seal your sign with Top Coat in Flat, and enjoy your piece!
