Use a flat-bristled paintbrush and acrylic paint to dry brush paint a DIY Wood Plank Sign. To achieve the dry brush look, lightly dip your paint brush into the paint and lightly swipe it over the wood surface without adding more paint to the brush. Repeat this process until there is no more paint on the brush. Having the wood show through the paint is the look you want to achieve.
Paint a DIY Unfinished Wood Shamrock Ornament using acrylic paint and allow time for the paint to dry.
