Here is all you need:
1 small square pallet ( I got mine at Michael’s)
Oversized bulldog clip (Mine in the Heidi Swapp mint one)
Painter’s Tape ( I am partial to Frog Tape Brand)
Wood Stain (I used Weathered Oak by Minwax)
Acrylic or Craft Paint in desired color
Glue
Command Strip or Saw tooth Hanger
Steps:
Place tape on your pallet in your desired pattern. I did a stripe at the bottom and a chevron in the middle.
Using a rag or a foam brush, lightly brush on stain. It dries almost instantly, but wait about 5 minutes before removing tape.
After removing tape, use another clean foam brush to paint on your paint. I brushed very lightly around the stain lines, but didn’t worry about the lines being too perfect.
Let paint dry and then put glue on the back of your bulldog clip.
I used super glue, but hot glue would work well too. Just use whatever strong glue you have on hand. I pressed it into position for a minute or two and then let the glue set.
I am going to use a command strip to hang this, but if you prefer not to use those, attach a saw tooth hanger on the back.
I love this adorable three chicks print from Minted! It is going to be adorable in our nursery!
And that’s all there is to it!
