Nautical Number Tags
How to create the look of aged nautical tags...
These adorable nautical tags are made from the slats of a not-so-old crate that had been painted light blue.
Using the shop saw, I cut the slats into tag shapes, then sanded off some of the blue paint.
Holes were drilled for jute to hang the tags.
Each tag got a stenciled number.
To distress the new paint look of the numbers, I gave them a good sanding then added the jute.
Perfect little tags that look like they've spent time
out on the open sea!

ReplyDeleteJoyce, joyce, joyce... I hope you get this reply (Your settings are not set to get replies to your questions)... A paint stick is like a Sharpie marker but it has paint in it! Lots of colors... Michaels Craft store... awesome!

ReplyDeleteWhat is the solution that you used to age them?
ReplyDeleteHi Soak an old SOS soap pad (after the soap is gone) in white vinegar overnight.... this solution will darken fresh wood quickly! :)
