Without suggestions



My last post was kinda lacking the regular improvement quality....I was looking for some suggestions on what to place on the front of this tin bucket...but didn't get any responses - so I just used my original idea.
Here it is with the skills to do it :


I am using it for my kids nautical room remember...so I was inspired by numbers on boats, sails, etc.

First I used a home made stencil - I did this by tracing some number images from my computer screen on to looseleaf. I used pen but you could - to keep it simple - just use the pencil through the whole thing


Then I flipped it over and shaded in all the surrounding area with the pencil...flipped it over again and traced the letters

I traced this step with pen for picture purposes too, so you could see better....

Then just painted where the outline marked on the tin...I didn't photograph this step because the tin was too dark to see....hope this isn't too complicated of a tutorial...let me know your thoughts! I love to hear em!
