Let’s start to make the
nameplate
Firstly make sure the
base that you are taking for the nameplate is clean if not then colour the base
in white colour.
Step 1: take the stencil
you have chosen for the nameplate and palette knife and the texture paste place
the stencil on the ply wherever you want to put the design it is mostly
preferred on the edges of the ply let it dry. You can also put 2 to 3 designs
together if it comes in sync.
Step 2: once the texture
paste is dry take black colour with a sponge or brush and colour the whole
plate in black make sure there is no space left. Let it dry. You can choose any
other colour you like as the base but it should be in proper match and it
should suit your work you are doing. Try using some dark shade and pastels they
go well. Try some chalk paint as well they work on all surface. They do
not peel of like acrylic they are non-sticky as well.
Step 3: After the black
colour is dry take a dry brush and the second colour which you have chosen, dip
the brush in the colour take of the excess colour on a plastic so that you can
reuse the same colour now put the colour with the dry brush on some spots not
the whole surface.
Step 4 :take the golden
or silver or copper colour on your finger and put them on few designs of the
texture not the whole part this is just to make the nameplate glow and the
designs to be visible.
Step 5: take the pieces
of mdf or the other articles you want to put on the nameplate and colour them
black you can also keep the few pieces as it is and colour the rest in black
first after the black is dry now take the dry brush which you took of the second
colour and do the dry brushing on the articles not the whole articles but the
few spots, you can also put the golden colour with your finger let the pieces
dry.
Step 6: Now colour the
alphabets in golden colour and then let it dry. Make sure that you choose the appropriate
size of the name according to your ply.
Step 7: We are ready for
the final placement of the nameplate. Take your glue gun and start placing the
things and parts of the nameplate into places. You can refer to the image while
assembling the parts of the nameplate.
