I’m so glad I found this! I don’t have wood or electric saws. I cannot wait to do this. You said ink wax, I’ve only ever heard of ink colored paint but I’ll find it! TFS!!!
Love this! New subscriber. I was watching Sammie over at Unicorn Dust Designs and she mentioned that she learned how to do this technique from you and suggested to her subscribers that we hop over and check you out. So glad I did! I will definitely try this. Looks great!! 😊
OMG.....all I can say is Thank you!!! I literally watched the first half of this video, paused it, went to Walmart and bought the Waverly clear wax, and Truffle color.(they were out of ink and antique) and Dollar Tree to buy the sponges, foam board and paint brushes. Came home and cut the boards and did this project and LOVED it!! Once it dries, I'm chalking on it with my new Chalk Couture chalks!!!! Amazing!!!! Thank you soooo much again!!! Like you say, the whole decor world has opened up very easily!!!
Love this ❤️ the commercials at the end drove me crazy... trying to keep up with the measurements ( how the board was cut) in between the commercials was a lil frustrating lol but over all the project was great hopefully I got the basics and can figure it out without having to rewatch the video🤞🏻
This is so amazing! Can't wait to get the paints and get started!!! Thankbyouvso much!!! You do a great job!!!!!! Looking forward to watching your other video's!!!!!
just found your video while trying to make a sign for my daughters wedding. You instructions are so clear and your technique is great. Couldn't find Waverly antique so I used DecoArt Americana creme wax. My "wood" came out great! new Subscriber!
Is the ink(black) a bottle of wax or chalk paint? I have the antique wax and am wondering if my Waverly Ink chalk paint will work. I still need to get the clear wax.
That may work, I have also used the cutical tool from the Dollar Tree makeup aisle. Others have used the round end of the silver metal craft brushes from Dollar Tree.
You want the least amount of moisture applied as possible, so you may need to experiment a few times to find that right amount of paint and wax that you need for the look you want without the excessive moisture
I am ABSOLUTELY blown away!?!? I can’t stop searching for more of your videos!! The 🎄 collar/box will be my first project as a gift to my daughter-in-law and then one for myself 😍
Oh my Gosh! I am sooo excited that I found your videos!! This is exactly what I was hoping for! Great job creating this real looking wood that is light weight and we can stay indoors and keep on crafting. Blessings and Thank you!!

It's Waverly Ink paint and Waverly Antique Wax.

This will be perfect for above the 3 cabinets that my husband is putting up for me in our kitchen today. Love it! 👍🏻
This is amazing!

Where can I buy this Waverly ink paint
Waverly is sold by Wal-Mart, it is made by Plaid for them.
I don't have fingernails. LOL what else could I use?
Tagged you in a post on the Facebook group for an alternative

Awesome...I definitely want to try this out. Just ordered the wax. Thank you!!
Amazing! I can’t wait to try to make these faux wood planks! Where did you get the tool you used to cut your popsicle sticks?
Amazon, they are called multi-angle miter shears
Absolutely fabulous! As real as I have ever seen!

Ink is chalk paint, waxes are antique and clear.
Love this but have a question. If I did this technique would vinyl stick to it? I can picture making my own 'wood' pieces to put vinyl sayings on!
Yes it will, I even did a tutorial video for it.th-cam.com/video/uIb2Sa0N5rQ/w-d-xo.html
Would a plastic bottle cap work for the curved indentations? I too don’t have long fingernails to use. 😊
That may work, I have also used the cutical tool from the Dollar Tree makeup aisle. Others have used the round end of the silver metal craft brushes from Dollar Tree.
This is amazing! I can't wait to apply these techniques to my own projects. Subscribed and will be watching more from you! Thank you.
I think this maybe my favorite video because it go me started on so mnay more of your great projects!!
Beautiful!!!! TYFS!
Can you tell me please where you got the tool you are using to cut your popsicle sticks? What are they called and will they cut a stir stick? Thanks!
They are called angled miter shears, they are from Amazon. Yes, they will cut a stir stick, I use them to cut up to 1/2 inch dowels.
It looks good but half the time couldn’t see what you were doing In the video. You were not in the camera enough.
Yes, sorry, this was an early video, gotten better at not doing that
Your paint recipe is interesting. I’m going to try it! Thanks for sharing.
I can't get waverley products in England can't I use rustoleum clear wax?
Try finding Folk Art Hime Decor clear wax, it is the equivalent of Waverly, both are made by Plaid.
@@ThePeppermintCactus thank you found some on good old Amazon.
what is that mini stapler called? this looks amazing you have been so inspirational! thank you
Its not an actual stapler, its one of the clay modeling tools from Dollar Tree, I use it to poke holes to simulate staple holes.
@@ThePeppermintCactus ohhhhh totally had me lol thank you!
How are y'all sticking these to the wall
Larger sections, we use 3M Command strips, smaller projects are hung up with poster putty.
4” planks are bowing after painting. Any suggestions?
You want the least amount of moisture applied as possible, so you may need to experiment a few times to find that right amount of paint and wax that you need for the look you want without the excessive moisture
Thank you! I was able to bend them straight by increments of inches from one side to the other without marring the front. Saved!
How do you keep the foamboards from bowing and warping after painting?
Woooow, this is amazing!!! You just got a new subscriber!!! 😍😍😍😍💃🥳🥳
THANKS and welcome to the group.
will vinyl lettering stick to this wax and foam core?
I just can’t right now!! Where did you get this idea?! Amazing!! New subscriber on board!!
Thanks and welcome! It's something I have been working on for a while now.
The Peppermint Cactus well, I just love it!! So creative. You are super talented and I can’t wait to check out the rest of your videos! 💗💗
I am ABSOLUTELY blown away!?!? I can’t stop searching for more of your videos!! The 🎄 collar/box will be my first project as a gift to my daughter-in-law and then one for myself 😍
Thank you so much for sharing this technique. And for me, you don't have to apologize for the time it takes or your excitement.
Oh my Gosh! I am sooo excited that I found your videos!! This is exactly what I was hoping for! Great job creating this real looking wood that is light weight and we can stay indoors and keep on crafting. Blessings and Thank you!!
Beautiful! So incredibly realistic!! I am so thankful that I found you!!!
"Driftwood" effect! I think that's what it is ... you achieved.
Thats amazing ... love it... didn’t know this even existed 😂
Too many adds
Soooo excited to try this!!
That is so awesome!!
Have you ever hung these projects outside?
No, I don't think they will handle moisture very well.
The Peppermint Cactus that’s what o was thinking too. Thanks
How would you do circular letters like a C or an O?
Subscribed! 😍😍
