There is an amazing website for unique shirts and I found one that had the best design. (threadless.com you need to check it out!!) But instead of buying the shirt I decided to make the design myself and use it as wall art.
What you'll need:
- old wood board
- metal brush
- spray paint
- acrylic paint
- small paint brush
- peace stencil
How to:
- Using the metal brush, brush away any dirt or debris on your board. Remember to go with the grain of the wood.
- Spray paint many light coats of paint. You don't want it to have blotches or drips.
- I just printed a peace sign of the internet to use as my stencil. I used a pencil and outlined it, you may want to cut it in peices, but I found it easy to just use it as a whole.
- After it is stenciled, use a small paint brush and paint in the lines. My board was very grainy, so it took several coats to get it so it didn't look streaky.
I love mine. It's unique, and not just something you find at a store. You can make it simple or amp it up, the fun thing about this project is you can mix your creativitly.
