diy kids - name plates

Materials:

Wooden name plate, paint - we used: Resene Nero, Resene Bubblegum, Resene Hopskotch, Resene White, Resene Chaos, Resene Super Sonic and Resene Rubber Duck. Resene Aquaclear, paintbrush, PVA glue, wooden letters, wooden decorations, stickers and stencils.

Method:

Step 1
Select letters, decorations and colours you want.

Step 2
Paint name plate and letters with two coats of colour. Paint should be touch-dry between coats. If stencilling or painting a picture onto name plate, do it once the second coat of paint is dry.

Step 3
Glue on wooden letters and wooden decorations, and stick on any stickers.

Step 4
Seal with Resene Aquaclear, a waterborne clear coating.

Tips:

You can use a hot glue gun instead of PVA glue, but make sure there’s a grown-up there to help.
Plates can be either screwed onto a door or attached with double-sided tape.
