The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Painting – Part 2

July 7, 2014 No Comments

Hey!  Good Morning!  I just wanted to follow up on my last post where I showed you how to do the lazy girl’s guide to paint lettering.  This time I  want to show you how to apply the same technique using garage sale stickers.  Yep.  stickers.

I basically used the same technique as before.  I started with a wooden frame and spray painted the base coat white.  Then instead of lettering I wanted to do polka dots.  Again – who has time to sit and paint all those dots?  My ADD kicks in SO badly at this point! For reals!  I could have cut the dots out on my Cricut machine but I had these garage sale stickers sitting around from the last garage sale and they were the perfect size!   I placed the stickers where I wanted the polka dots to be. (yeah –  I might have gone a little dot crazy here!)  Then I gave them a good rub to ensure that they were stuck tightly to the wood.  Then using my top color, a pretty little girl pink, I painted over the entire piece.

Once again, be sure to let the paint dry until it is no longer shiny.  Using a craft knife, gently pull up the edge and pull off of the dot.  You should have a beautiful perfectly round white dot at this time… if not grab a slight damp, small brush and remove any paint the has bleed under the sticker.  Let the entire piece dry completely and then paint a poly coat if you so desire!

Here is the finished piece.  By using this technique, I have saved myself a ton of time!  And quite honestly, I am not sure that my  hand painted polka dots would have that crisp of an edge or all be the same size!

This project is definitely a beginner level.  Remember, you can use this technique on just about anything! Happy painting!

Until next time….

Do you go all out for Valentine’s Day? Here at t Do you go all out for Valentine’s Day? Here at the Castle we are a little more laid back about it. I don’t even do cards anymore cause #boymom . They’d give it a glance and move on. I know they appreciated them, it’s just not their thing. So I’m focusing on a fun, casual Valentine’s Day table this year. Still fun and colorful but more in keeping with the guys here. Truth be told, I’m kinda enjoying it. Today on the blog I’m sharing my casual table. ( link in bio) if you are a more casual celebrator too, I’d live to see how your celebrating this  year!
