Want an easy way to create artwork that looks like you’ve hand-carved wood? I’ve got a great, easy and inexpensive way to make you look like quite the artist!
You Will Need:
- Wood – 24” x 48”
- Paint brush or rag for paint stain
- Blue painters tape
- Water-based wood stain in Dark Walnut finish
- Spray paint – I used Rustoleum Semi-Gloss Ivory Bisque
- Rubber door mat with scrolls (or any pattern that you would like) I used size 24” x 18”
How To:
- Take your wood and cut it to size or have the hardware store cut it to size. You will need four equal pieces.
- Take your paint brush or rag and cover the front and sides of the wood with the Dark Walnut stain.
- Let dry.
- If you want a border around the pattern, add it now with painters tape.
- Lay your mat on top of the wood.
- Take your ivory spray paint and do a light coat of spray paint. Do not overspray to avoid drips.
- Let the first coat dry. Keep the mat in place while drying.
- Spray another light coat of ivory over the wood, making sure to get in the sides of the scrolling mat to get the pattern.
- Remove the mat and any painters tape.
- Let wood dry.
- Add a picture hanger to the back of each wood piece.
- Hang your artwork and enjoy!
