    How wonderful to find someone using up scraps and recycling.
    Also not generating so much plastic waste with machines.

    Hello. Thanks for sharing your technique. So you just printed it out on regular paper and then took at pencil (I have a tombow hi precision drafting pencil, would that work?) and shaded the letters as you could see them through the paper onto the back of the paper? Then traced the letters so that the shaded pencil marks transferred to the wood?

    • @RedRockingBird
      @RedRockingBird  3 года назад +1

      Hi, thanks, it would work but you’d be better finding a basic pencil or a graphite stick for rubbing all over the back then precision pencil for tracing over yes, enjoy your projects

    An easier more accurate word paint would be to use the same tracing paper, cut out the wording and apply paint so it clean and copied over the trace paper

    • @RedRockingBird
      @RedRockingBird  3 года назад +2

      Hi, I did yes, the softer the pencil the easier it will transfer, but regular is just fine, it works well on the white. Are you going to give it a go? ☺️

    Do you ever paint signs for outdoors? If so, do you use acrylic paint and then seal it with something?

    • @RedRockingBird
      @RedRockingBird  6 дней назад

      I haven't for a long while but would like to make something new for Christmas like this this year, you can get outdoor regular or acrylic paint, but if it's for my own personal use I would acrylic paint and then probably polyurethane varnish, as it's likely to be something big and this is economical, may need recoating after a couple of years depending on the weather, happy crafting, thanks for watching, Sarah ❤

      Yes I do, more thinner coats better than 1 thick, if in doubt if it's cheap paint then I sometimes add a bit of white craft glue into it, you really don't need very much of either. I then spray a craft varnish over the top at the very end once all is dry.
