diy vintage

make your own christmas vintage sign with milk paint hello! i'll do a little christmas sign here now, and i've already made a piece of board here if you click in the corner you can see the video on how i did it this far (like a stain) now then, anyway, this will be a vintage sign and, as i said, it'll be for christmas so then, i have brought miss mustard seed's milk paint

color tricycle (red) i will actually show today that it is harder to mix than the other colors red is, for some reason, sometimes really hard to handle i would suggest that you use gloves for these pigments stick everywhere so, mittens

gloves, perhaps anyway usually i mix it with water first, otherwise the pigments can be stuck in the bottom but with the red, i actually do the powder first, otherwise the powder will only lay on the surface all of you who have mixed this red color know what i mean and equal parts water ... this, now, i have to wash very carefully, otherwise, all the colors i use this bucket for

will become red even if i put in the powder first, it goes up to and settles on the surface. but one must simply work a little more with the red color , i do not really know why, if it is so that it is so very much more pigments in it or if there is something else ... so, well ...

it's possible to mix however, i would not recommend to go with one of those giant whisk to speed up the process because then the red pigments will just fly just everywhere so, i wouldn't do that so, it's just simply to mix it carefully it may take a little extra time

now then, let's see if you can see here ... now it begins to look like right and actually become a paint. now! now, now, i'll let this stand for a while and rest so that the pigments may solve in the water well, that was it!

the red paint! now this paint has stand for quite some time so i pour in a splash of water because it has thickened up a bit too much there. now i think this mix is ​​good. now i take one glove here and i want some chipping (flaking paint) quite a lot actually.

so i apply pretty much oil here. and then i take my glove and so i just rub this here the more oil, the more the color will chip. and so i throw this to the forest. now i take my red paint ... now it looks like this now i leave this to dry for just a little while and then i will paint on

one more layer before i do anything further with this so... while the red paint dries now i have painted a small black chipboard i will not seal this paint because if you paint with lime and chalkpaints and do not seal them it becomes like a chalk board that's exactly what i want

and i find it a bit dull so i actually cut strips out of this small piece of fabric like this ... now i have one of these strip i keep this stuff here 2.5cm i chose to do about and i will fold this double

and glue it onto the edges all the way around for that, i just use wood glue it is quite simple and it does not need to be particularly advanced i'll just take ordinary clothespins there... now i have this board here and as you can see, it has flaked, and that's what happens when you have

oil between the layers of paint i'll just brush off here now what is very loose. then i have, since yesterday, a farmhouse white mix and i'll write a little text with that and i will draw lines like a frame around the red and now i will paint here

i'll write a little text here i made this, it will be glued on here ...i think... so this is where my text are about to be so ... now i take my mixture, i had that brown-black stain that i had in the bottom i have put in a little more black pigment

and so i mix around. what i will do now is namely shadings of these letters now, i have a tiny, tiny bit of sandpaper there, a small, small piece of sandpaper and then i'll just very easily, so i don't come down to the bright wood,

i'll just get rid of the loose flakes not everything, but a lot of it now i am quite happy with this. because i want to keep exactly this appearance now i will paint it with miss mustard seed's tough coat shake lightly and apply some here

so... and then i brush it out with my brush had i chosen oil or anything else on this now it would have become ... it would have continued to flake, and that i actually do not want so i choose the lacquer! with the tough coat i can glue back part of these loose pieces.

it may be some small air bubbles in this, but because it dries very quickly i usually just wait half a minute maybe, and then i pull easily over with my brush to pushing out these air bubbles. so will this be really flashy. my little blackboard, i want to attach like that

i pour some glue quite generous! i put it where i want it then now then, i have these hooks, which i'll screw in here so that i can tie a string and hang it up. they are just to press

and then screw... *** days left until christmas eve 24 days left until christmas eve
