Here we have Rimjhim Garg to share few simple and super easy steps to make one for your self.
I have been making a lot of handmade products on order but making a tutorial was something that never clicked my mind. This is my first ever tutorial for upcycling a wooden plank and a plastic bottle and making a nameplate out of it.
Let’s begin with the steps to make one for yourself quickly:
Materials Required:
#Wooden Plank (18x6) inches
#Plastic Bottle
#Gesso
#Wood stain
#Normal Printout (Names to be printed on)
#Chalk Paints
#Mod Podge
#Rope
#Scissor
#Toothbrush
#Asian Paint Varnish
Step-by-step process:
Step.1: Sand the wooden plank on the edges. Primer it using gesso. Leave it to dry. (Gesso is optional if you are using chalk paint)
Step.2: Once the gesso is dry, give a coat of dark brown chalk paint on the plank. Mix asian paints varnish and wood stain. Give a coat of this mixture using a cloth.
Step.3: Print the names that has to be mentioned on the plate it may be as below or you can simply use the tittles as per your choice.
Step.4: Carefully cut the letters. Once the letters are cut, give a coat of mod podge where the letters were to be stuck. Keep the names carefully and again give a coat of mod podge once they are placed as per your choice.
Step.5: Use brown chalk paint to give base coat on the plastic bottle. Once this is dried, give a light coat of sheep skin chalk paint on top of it. After it dries up, load the tooth brush with brown chalk paint and using dry brushing technique, gently give a coat of dark brown at random places
Step.6: Tie a rope to hang the bottle
Step.7: Varnish the entire project using asian paint aquador exterior varnish.
Your simple rustic wooden nameplate is ready.:)
