How To:
-Prime
the front of the ½” plywood board, and once dry, tape off the outer frame area
and inner mirror area with low tack painters tape
-Apply
a thin coat of drywall spackle over the exposed primed plywood (approx. 1/8” –
1/4" thick”), making sure to leave the finish rough and textured
-Allow
the spackle to set for about 3-5 minutes, and then gently press the leaves onto
the surface to create an imprint
-Using
the back of an artist brush, draw branches in the spackle to connect the leaves
and then remove painters tape (if you make a mistake, simply re-spackle and start
design again)
-Once the
plaster is dry, re-prime over all surfaces to seal and protect the finish
-Apply
a basecoat of “Shelburne Buff” over entire plaster area
-Using
a damp cloth, gently wash a layer of “Alexandria Beige” over basecoat
-Once
dry, apply a second wash of “Willow”
over the plaster area to create depth and complete the Venetian plaster look
-Using
a small artist brush, fill in the leaf imprint with “Warmed Cognac” and the
branches with “Willow”
-Using
an angled sash brush, paint the 1”x3” pine frame pieces with “Black”
-Use
construction adhesive to attach the mirror to the centre of the plywood
-Run a
strip of construction adhesive around the outer perimeter of the plywood and
apply the mitered frame pieces
-To
ensure that the frame is secure, insert screws around the perimeter of the
plywood from the back
-Finally,
install picture wire and hooks on the back, and voila, it’s ready to
hang…enjoy!
