How and How Long:
- Cut the board to the desired size using Rockler's Saw guide.
- Sand over the boards with a Rockler Sanding Bug.
- Once the board is smooth pass over it with a tack cloth to remove any excess dust (to create a smooth painting surface).
- Measure and divide wood board into 4 sections, marking off with a pencil, then taping off each section with painters tape.
- Spray over the top left area with the Krylon Magnetic Spray Paint, using a sweeping even motion. Do light even coats and let it dry for 30 minutes between coats. I applied 6 soats of paint.
- Once the last coat is applied, let it dry for 24 hours before finishing the project.
- Paint the other 3 sections. One section in white, another in black and the last section in hot pink. Once dry, applied another coat.
- Print off a font for my niece using her initial as a monogram (you can use magazine as well). Cut out vinyl with an Exact-o knife and apply it to the black area. (I have a cutting machine I wanted to show people how to use vinyl in a fun creative way).
- The white area received brush strokes of black paint in a zebra pattern to go wth her room decor.
- I ordered 2 white knobs and a white hook from Rockler. I added them to the pink area so she could hang her necklaces.
Approximate project time: This project was really quick and easy! The project time took about 2.5 hours to execute. It took about 1 day and 6 hours to complete, but that was because of the drying time for the paint.
