Hello readers! Today I want to share with you a super simple piece of art that I created last week. I promise that anyone can do it. It is so simple and fun! All you need is a cut-to-size (whatever size you’d like) piece of plywood, some leftover paint, and letter stencils. I picked up my plywood at Home Depot, used the leftover paint colors that I had from when we painted our living room, kitchen and dining room 2 years ago and picked up the stencils at Michael’s. Total cost: $14. Here’s how I did it:
1. Take your piece of plywood and whitewash it with paint color of your choice. I used white paint, mixed with some water to achieve the whitewash look.
It would also be fun and easy to add graphic objects to your board as well such as a bird stencil or the outline of a city skyline or circles and squares for a geometric look. The easiest way to do this is to find an image you like online and print it out and cut out the inside of the image to create your own stencil. You could also add texture to your art by layering on images cut out of balsa wood or some other thin wood veneer which can be painted or left as is. Have fun being creative and come up with your own ways to make your piece stand out!
Happy creating!
