Step 1
Gather your materials to start creating your own color block letter!
Step 2
Place a piece of wax paper on a flat surface. This will give you an easy clean up once you are done with your letter.
Step 3
Apply the stain to your letter using the foam brush.
Step 4
Allow your stain to sit for a few minutes.
Step 5
Wipe off the excess stain with a paper towel and let the stain dry for at least an hour.
Step 6
Once the stain is dry, create a diagonal line on your letter using painter's tape. Firmly press the tape down and make sure it wraps around to the back.
Step 7
Using a paintbrush, apply the white paint by brushing away from the painter's tape.
Step 8
Apply 2-3 coats of white paint.
Step 9
After applying your last coat, carefully peel off the painter's tape before the paint is fully dry. This will prevent the white paint from peeling off the letter. Once the paint is dry, spray paint a coat of the gloss lacquer over the entire letter.
Step 10
You're letter is ready to be displayed!
