2. I used an ice pick and a screwdriver to mar the surface. I thought they looked like they were in too good of condition and needed to be a little distressed.
3. I painted them their base colors. One was green and the other pink.
4. I used my Cricut to cut out a flamingo and a palm tree from vinyl.
5. I applied them to the signs and rubbed them down really well – especially the edges.
6. Once I applied the vinyl, I took the same color as the background, and painted it all over the front of the sign. I made to sure to go in all directions. I did this because if there is a chance of paint running under the vinyl, you want it to be the same color. This will allow you to get nice crisp edges.
7. I then painted over everything with a mixture of grays and white, to give it a washed out look.
8. Once dry, I peeled off the vinyl.
9. I used a matte varnish to go protect the signs, so they could be used as coasters.
