How to Paint Chevron

We've been doing a lot of house projects around here the past few weeks! Luckily for me, Mike is a good sport about it and helps do the hard stuff. I thought that it would be fun to show you some of the stuff we've redone throughout this week. But even better, this Friday, I want you to link up your house projects back here! Let's all get some inspiration flowing and share our creativity...

How to Paint Chevron

It's actually easier than you think it is. I found this little dresser at an estate sale for $28. I knew I could glam it up, and wanted it for all of my necklace making supplies.

What I used:

Sandpaper

White Spray Paint

Grey Spray Paint

Painter's tape

new knobs

{Hobby Lobby has AMAZING knobs, and you can usually find them 50% off}

Sand off your piece of furniture to smooth it out, and maker sure you clean it off pretty well

Spray paint the whole dresser whatever color you want the base to be. In my case, I painted it all grey.

After paint drys, place your tape in chevron pattern across your furniture piece

Make sure the edges of the tape are completely pressed down so the paint wont bleed

When you get your desired pattern, use your other color of spray paint in the outlined areas

THAT'S IT!

Okay friends, get your creative juices flowing, and link up your house projects here on Friday!
