Description

Ingredients

• 4 – 7” x 3” wood slats
• Flat paintbrush
• liner paintbrush
• Toothpick
• Pattern for fonts
• Sandpaper, preferably a handheld power sander
• Buttermilk
• Flesh Tone
• Spa Blue

Directions

• Paint wooden slats with Cool White paint.
• Paint each slat with a different color (Flesh Ton, Spa Blue, Mint Julep Green and Buttermilk).
• Use Word to create the words beach, surf, relax and sand or print out the pattern.
• Place each word onto a slat and trace the words using a ball point pen or a stylus, pressing firmly so as to create indents in the wood slat underneath.
• Use Cool White to paint the words.
• Dip flat paintbrush into Cool White and wipe off all of the excess paint onto a paper towel. You want to create a dry brushed looked, so lightly paint streaks across the surface of the slat.
• Sand the edges and lightly across the top of the slats to create a weathered look.
• Spray with an acrylic matte sealer.
