Description
Join Jen Cushman in this video workshop and learn how to create functional home décor with the mixed-media chalkboard project!
Do you want to have better solution to jotting down notes than a smudgy dry-erase board or disorganized sticky notes? Jen Cushman has the perfect creative solution that merges organization and style with the Mixed-Media Chalkboard with Cast Resin project.
This mixed-media chalkboard features cast resin hardware that looks like the real thing – without the weight of using metal hardware. Jen will walk you through the whole project, starting with a pre-made wooden board. You can follow along and learn:
- Creative ways to paint and embellish a store-bought board to make it work with your home’s décor
- Ways to integrate stamps, patinas, and more surface treatments into your work
- A simple method to make vintage metal hardware replicas using a two-part mold, resin, paint, and patinas
- An eye-catching use for vintage rulers or yardsticks
You’ll be able to display your notes in style and stay organized with this mixed-media project!
Spend over an hour with Jen and explore these mixed-media techniques:
- Using store bought elements and making them your own for artful mixed-media home décor
