I've been really busy with finals and wedding planning, so I'm sorry for not keeping my blog updated! Today though I have a fun and super simple tutorial for wedding signs!
Materials
- Canvas Board (any size)
- Acrylic Paint (See picture below for colors I used)
- Thin Paint Brushes
- Printer/Printer Paper
- Pencil
- Tape
Steps
1) Print out your desired design. Make sure you scale it to whatever size of canvas you are using!
I actually found my design on the Ruffled Blog! They have amazing DIY projects for your wedding and tons of pictures of real weddings for inspiration!
2) Turn the paper over and rub a pencil all over the back. We do this so that when you trace over your project, something transfers so you can paint over it!
3) When you finish with that, turn the picture back over and tape it to your canvas. If you paint it before hand, make sure that the paint is completely dry before this step!
4) Next, trace over the design with a pencil or a pen. You can lift up your design a little to check if its transferring but be careful not to shift it so your design transfers perfectly! After you trace it just take the paper off and it should look like this:
5) I would suggest to first paint over the letters using your lead markings as a guide! If you mess up, just use your background color and repair it!
6) When you finish the letters, move on to the other details in the design. Have fun with this part!
And in 6 easy steps, you have a hand painted wedding sign!
(I haven't sealed mine yet but I will probably put a layer of modge podge over it. I'll update with the end result!)
These are the brands and colors that I used to create these signs:
