Here's a few steps to get on this fun project:
- Firstly, make sure your surface is free from holes, nails or other protusions or dents. Try and make it as smooth as possible.
- Apply a coat of primer first, making sure this coat dries before the next step.
- You can now make your portions of 1 cup paint and 2tbsp unsanded grout. This mixture dries quite quickly hence even if you need alot of paint stick to making smaller quantities at a time.
- Apply your paint onto the surface with long strokes. Let this coat dry (for upto two hours) and now apply your second coat. Repeat this 4-5 times for a solid long lasting finish.
- You are now ready to get the chalks out and get your word art on!
