• A wood board or sign (approx.18x5”) - http://bit.ly/2xJCIru
• Black, white and silver paint
• Two round sponge brushes - http://bit.ly/2wz7aiU (I was able to find a pack of two for about $1 at Joann’s)
• Wide regular brush • A scrap piece of card stock or heavy-weight paper.
• Something circular to trace.
• Scissors
• Painting supplies, like a pallet, paper towels, and cup of water
• White colored pencil (optional)
i n s t r u c t i o n s :
My sign had a frame around it, so i added a little paint to match my room. This step only applies if your sign has a frame and is optional.
The first real step is to paint the board black.
While that paint’s drying, you can make your stencil. Somehow this clip got deleted, but all you need to do is take the cardstock and trace the circle and cut it out. I used the inside of this tape roll.
Now that the video’s back, you can take your stencil and align it in the middle of the board. Then take white paint on the foam brush and dab it first on a napkin to remove excess paint and then gently dab it in the stencil. You don’t want to completely fill the stencil so it looks like craters on the moon.
Continue down the line, next with a half moon, then a crescent. Repeat on the other side of the full moon.
Next, you can take some silver paint and dab that onto the moons just for some extra dimension
This final step is optional, but you can take a white colored pencil and label the moon phases.
