Would you like to learn how to make a sign like this or with any graphic of your choice using a simple, easy and inexpensive transfer method? Read on
I took an old kitchen cabinet door, painted in in Nearly Black by Autentico, printed out three graphics just using my computer, one being the word Pimms, the other "o'clock" and an image of a Pimms label. For the Pimms and "o'clock" simply use chalk all over the back, place where you would like the image transferred and drawn over the words.
This is what it looks like after you've traced the letters. I then simply used a fine paint brush in Autentico Chalk Grey and painted in the letters for both "Pimms" and "o'clock".
I next cut out the Pimms lable, very close to the edges, covered the back with Autentico Art Medium and stuck onto the panel. Once down, cover again with Art Medium (use as you would decoupage).
Next stage in waxing. I waxed the Pimms lable and the words using clear Autentico Wax, then went over the whole panel with black Autentico Wax, wiping off the black from the letters and the label. Beautiful finished.
Finished item. If you would like to briefly use it outdoor, it can be sealed with Autentico Sealer. We've just received Autentico outdoor paint and looking to do the same with that, which will be weather proofed. You can do this at home or come in for one of our classes. If you would like to do something more personal, get in touch so we can have the print outs to hand for your class. Or commission us to do something unique just for you,
