Transforming a paddle

I was lucky enough to come across someone who was giving away an old paddle on Marketplace to the first person interested. So I was even luckier to be that famous ”first-person” who was able to benefit from this incredible deal! I already knew exactly what I was going to do with this and I will explain here how to turn an old paddle into a decorative object.

Steps

This project is very easy to do and I would even say the fastest. In all, it took me 3 hours to complete this project here’s how:

First, the important thing was to remove all the old varnish that was left on the paddle. So I used an electric sander with 100 grit sandpaper, I was able to remove the varnish in no time.

Next, I applied green paint masking tape to mark out the areas that I wanted to paint. Two coats of Colorantic Night paint were sufficient to achieve the right result. With the stencil, I did the same exercise again to write the last name of my partner and my boys. I would have liked to put my last name too, but Bourque-Ouellet is, unfortunately, a bit too long and, according to my kids, it sounds less cool than Pigeon!

A FREE Marketplace listing, great Colorantic products and 3 jours later I had a new decorative elelement to add to my decor! In short, this is a project that is done in no time. It allows me the option to personalize my entry way, while earnig me kind words from my guests.
