I scraped off the paint before applying my final paint color. I stuck down a bird stencil cut from the cricut over the peeling paint and then painted the whole thing brown. I pulled up the stencil, sanded and scraped a little more and that was it. It is the first time I have tried this and I am very pleased with the results.

Chippy-Chirpy Bird
I used the peeling paint technique I like on this little stool and old tool (?) box.

ReplyDeleteI really like this. I so need a Cricut. I think I have about convinced myself to get one.
ReplyDeleteI really, really like this - just so I understand - so you sort of reverse stenciled it?
