Plaster of Paris diy sign and a video

Hello!

Today, I am sharing my other Plaster of Paris DIY sign and a video tutorial.

So far my playing with the Plaster of Paris has been fun and successful. I still have more practice to do, but I feel the projects I have done thus far have been a disaster.

The other day I hopped on facebook live  to share the how to stencil with plaster of Paris. I was sweating bullets and thought I was going to mess up.

But I didn’t! Thank goodness.

This sign took me a few days to finish. I am usually an immediate gratification kind of gal. I am learning patience though, and actually enjoying the process without rushing it.

After all what true artist can finish a masterpiece in 5 minutes? Well, if all they had was stencil they could. This technique requires a little more patience and skill.  I had no skill going into this. So it doesn’t require much. Don’t be intimidated. Get yourself a few boards at Lowe’s and use one for practice first. They are so cheap it’s ok to waste one, and it won’t really be a waste because you master it the first time and even if you don’t that’s ok. Keep going and don’t give up. You can do it!

Before I share the video down below let me explain the rest of the process I did.

After the board dried overnight I lightly dry brushed some craft paint over the plaster of paris. Then I painted it with black gel stain. Let that dry overnight and the next day I my Home is where our story begins stencil. Don’t fuss about the lines not being clean on this project. Obviously, they won’t be, you are stenciling on top of  a textured surface. After the stenciled dried I used a wax to finish it and after that dried I used a low grit sanding block to get the weathered older distressed look. Get creative and do it to your own liking to compliment your decor. The possibilities are endless I truly do believe. Let me just say this. I HAD A BALL doing this project.

Pin it, try it:)

I am not sure which project I like most so far. What’s your favorite one?

It’s suppose to look old world/rustic looking. Of course use any colors schemes that suit your taste and style. I will be hanging this sign on our front porch in a few weeks when I do a little Valentine decorating.

Thank you so much for visiting with me today.

    Just beautiful! What a fun technique. My favorite is the one with the brown tones and the blue/green accent. Just love the colors. I never would have thought of using Plaster of Paris. Gonna have to go get some!

    Love this project. Thinking I might do something like this to my kitchen tile to whiten it up. Thanks for the inspiring post.

    I have been using joint compound for years. I was nervous the first time but it’s quite addicting. Our old house I did our ceiling in our dining room. Haven’t gotten to it in the new house yet

    That is a really pretty sign! I remember my mom doing lots of things with plaster of paris, but I have never used it myself. Thanks for the inspiration!
