Storr's and Harrison Signage Tutorial

Hi Lovelies,

Today we are showing how to create some quick vintage signage that will look beautiful in any space!

Materials

• One plank (I am using 12″x 60″)
• Your IOD decor Transfer (I am using the Storr’s and Harrison)
• White Chalk Style Paint
• Sanding Sponge
• Shop Cloth
• Sealer

1. 1. 1. 1.

         Chose a plank that you would like to use to create your sign, make sure it is a good size for your transfer. Sand the plank until smooth.

1. 1. 1. 2.

         Using a clean, dry shop cloth, wipe down the plank to remove all the dust left from sanding. Making sure it is smooth and dry.

1. 1. 1. 3.

         Apply a nice smooth coat of chalk paint (I’m using Annie Sloan’s Old White) with brush strokes in different directions rather than just back and forth.

1. 1. 1. 4.

         Allow paint to dry completely, until it is no longer ‘tacky’ to the touch.

1. 1. 1. 5.

         Line up your transfer on the plank, cutting as needed to fit. Do not remove backing until you are ready to use the transfer to avoid dirt and dust.

1. 1. 1. 6.

         Tape down your transfer, once it is placed where you want it, to keep it from shifting while applying.

1. 1. 1. 7.

         Apply transfer to the plank, make sure to get all areas of the transfer onto plank before removing film.

1. 1. 1. 8.

         Gently distress your transfer with a sanding sponge. Start with a little at a time until you’ve achieved the desired look.

1. 1. 1. 9.

         Using your clean dry shop cloth, gently wipe away any dust left from sanding.

1. 1. 1. 10.

         Apply a wax sealer or waterproof sealer, based on where you are going to place the sign.
