They turned out really nice and were super easy to do! Like, super easy. If you can spray paint, then it's in the bag.
Here's What You'll Need:
Metallic Spray Paint
Paper Mache Letters
Sand Paper
Put your letters on a surface that you can spray paint on. I just used an old box I had lying around. Then give them a nice coat of the metallic spray paint, making sure to stay a nice distance away, so that you don't get too much paint on one area.
Let them dry, then repeat on the back and on the sides. Once they are totally dry, you can sand them a little if you prefer a more weathered look.
You don't have to sand too hard to get them good and scuffed up, which is nice. Once you're done with the sanding, then the project is complete! How easy and quick was that?!!
Find a good home for them, and then you're done! Enjoy!
Hope you liked this easy and fast project...
Stay Crafty My Friends......
