Step 1. Because our piece of wood wasn’ t 100 % suitable for living outdoors, we started by painting it all over( twice) with some white ceiling paint.
Step 2. Once totally dry, paint the plaque with your chosen background colours – we chose mainly yellow with a blue section at the bottom( the pond).
Step 3. While the plaque is drying, carefully paint the wooden letters. Leave to dry, then repeat.
