Chalk Paint Sign

Creative Artist!
 

I made this sign for my soon to be office.

This was just a test run to see how it looked. I decided to leave off the rabbit. 

 I painted the wood with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White. 
Then I sanded it quite a bit. 
 I reversed the images and printed it off on my laser printer.

~How I did it ~

After reversing the images I used - Mod Podge - (glue) and applied it to the toner side of the paper. Gluing the images face down on the wood. Then I wiped up the glue along the edges with a damp sponge. I waited about an hour for the Mod Podge to dry.

 In small sections I added puddles of water on the paper waiting about thirty seconds and sponging off. I then rolled off the paper with my fingers exposing the words and fleur de lis.

An hour later I sealed it with *polycrylic in clear satin - water based. It took the hazed look off the paper and made the black toner look sharp and clear.

Happy Crafting!
