I love custom orders and this one was a fun one for sure! This started off as a discarded (in the recycle bin of course) box that I cut down to size. They are both around 12x20" and perfect for wood signs.
I used a combination of two shades of brown, brick red and white acrylic paints to change the look of cardboard to wood planks. Then I cut the ends of the planks very jagged to emulate old wood.
The "Stay Out" sign I used a thick point white Posca paint pen and then highlighted them with a fine point black pen. I tried to write it sloppy and a little juvenile.
The "Beware Ogre" sign was a little harder to finish because well...I wasn't sure how to make an ugly ogre! I used two shades of green, red and white to finish him up. Luckily I had a photo to assist with the drawing and I think he turned out as he should - mean & ugly!
Another Trash to Treasure project that I love! The person who ordered it loved them too and that's what is important!
