Many brides are increasingly making DIY acrylic welcome boards...
Here’s an idea to add even more style and personality ♡
Let's Paint the Back of the Acrylic ♡
This idea is to paint the entire back of the acrylic board with acrylic paints.
It’s more impactful than writing on a transparent acrylic board, and it adds a unique touch to the design ♡
Additionally, it enhances the readability of the text.
You can clearly see what is depicted even from a distance. It also looks beautiful in wide-angle photos capturing the entire welcome space ♡
Common issues when preparing a transparent welcome board include:
☑ The see-through background is not stylish
☑ The text is hard to read
With this method, you won't have to worry about those disappointing situations.
Plus, it still maintains a lovely transparency reminiscent of a half-finished nail design.
How to Make It? Introducing the DIY Method ♡
The method includes one additional step to the acrylic welcome board making method that was mentioned at the beginning of the article.
① Print the design of the welcome board you want on paper
② Place the acrylic sheet over the paper
③ Trace the letters with a white Posca pen from above
④ After the letters are completely dry, turn it over and paint with acrylic paint using a brush
The key when applying acrylic paint is to create a freehand, rough effect.
If you paint over the back of the acrylic board before tracing the letters, you won’t be able to trace the printed design on the paper.
Always start with the letters on the front side ♡
