For our final project we are going to see How to Paint A Stamped Chalkboard. This project is the same clients and the chalboard will be going in her craft room.
How To Paint A Stamped Farmhouse Chalkboard
Supplies Needed:
- Your Thrifted Item
- Americana Black Board Paint
- 2 of your favourite paint colours – I used Fusion Mineral Paint – Champlain and English Rose
- IOD Decor Stamp – Rose Toile
- IOD Ink – Stone Gray
- Brayer
- Brushes – I used Cling On! S30 and R12
- 120 grit sandpaper
- Fusion Mineral Paint – Wax
- Wax Brush – I used my Madeline Medium
- Craft Knife
- Painters Tape
- Scrap wood
- jig saw
- stable gun
Step 1 – Using the painters tape, tape off the rope. The padded area of this notice board had already popped out so using that as a template trace onto your scrap wood and cut out using a jig saw. Then using a craft knife cut around the egde of the material framed area and remove. Lightly sand back the wood underneath.
Step 2 – Give your scrap wood two coats of chalkboard paint. Letting dry in between each coat dry completely.
Painting Time!
Step 3 – Using your Brush, give 2 coats of Champain to the framed area letting each coat dry in between.
Step 4 – Using your other brush give the rest of the frame and the 2 hearts 2 coats of paint letting each coat dry completely.
Step 5 – Lay out your stamps face down onto the board. Pop out some ink and load up your brayer. Using transfer film pick up your stamps and apply ink to the stamps. Flip and lightly stamp. Let dry.
Repeat!
Step 6 – Apply the same method to stamp the hearts.
Step 7 – Season your chalkboard.
Step 8 – Distress the entire piece to your liking. Then using your wax brush apply the wax. Pop your chalkboard into the frame and secure in place with your stable gun from the back.
