Tweet

Hey I'm going to start a set of boxes in granite for a gate and ...well this in my first tutorial so ask any questions if I don't cover it well enough

Just a note .....I lost all my pic's of previous projects from last year so I'll have to ta take more and then post my previous crafts.

I got ta get pic's on here .....any easier option than photo bucket???

1 first find good boxes



2 next prime with oil base
and paint with latex top coat




3 wrap a bag on the roller and roll into paint



4 the bag on the roller only applies paint in lines of texture...so this way then that way to get enough on the board



5 beg borrow or steal how ever you want to look at it



6 sprinkle sand on the paint


7 many boxes can be done at once



8 lay a board to shade the cement mortar



9 measure the block size and mark all the boxes at once....don't forget the box folds and you will have another corner to shade




10 I cut card board stencils to shade with .

I can't see any pics ... What host are you using?

R U all good NOW ???

No. I still just see boxes with "X" in them...

K so I just ran out to take some more shots and Here they are !!

The next step is to use the stencil on two sides to save time ,shade the cement
and chipped texture of the granite


You will be able to shade two blocks at once if your stencil is made long enough


next shade the texture of the inside of the blocks with short shots .Angle the stencil and hit spots lightly in each of the blocks


It should look good and last to do is add color shading


Here is a little color
