Materials You'll Need:

  • Slat
  • Silicone Adhesive
  • Paper Tape
  • Wall Paint
  • Aging Cream
  • Utility Knife
  • Hanger
  • Drill
  • Painting Pot
  • Brush

Step-by-Step Guide:

Step 1: Prep the Area

Start by using paper tape to mask off the areas where you don’t want any paint. This will help you achieve clean, crisp lines and protect your surfaces.

Step 2: Paint the Slat

Pour your chosen wall paint into a painting pot. Using a brush, apply the paint to the slat. If you’re using a dark color, two coats should suffice. Allow half an hour of drying time between each coat. If necessary, apply a third coat for full coverage. Once the final coat is dry, remove the tape.

Step 3: Create an Aged Look

To give your slat a rustic, wooden appearance, use aging cream. With the help of a brush, apply the antique cream over the painted slat. This will add depth and texture, giving it an authentic aged look. Allow it to dry completely.

Step 4: Attach the Slat to the Wall

Apply silicone adhesive to the back of the slat. Press it firmly onto the wall, ensuring it’s straight and secure. Use paper tape to hold the slat in place while the adhesive dries. This ensures a strong bond and prevents it from slipping.

Step 5: Install the Hanger

While the slat is drying, use a drill to make holes in the wall where you want to attach the hanger. Secure the hanger in place, ensuring it’s level and firmly attached.

Step 6: Final Touches

Once everything is dry and secure, remove all the paper tape. Step back and admire your work!
