I was repainting some large wooden letters for my daughter’s new “big girl room” the other night while Chica was over. I had finished the first coat on about four of the letters and was going back to do the second coat when I noticed they had kind of stuck to the cardboard I had placed them on to dry. It was a frustrating mess and I had to spend time peeling the paper off. I looked over at Chica smirking at me and asked her if she had any tips on preventing something like this from happening. And she replied, “As a matter of fact, I do!”
Well, of course she does! Chica had the same problem when she was repainting her small nightstand for the second time. She used some simple push pins
This worked perfectly for me! A few of the push pins in the back elevated the letters of the paper so they could dry, also provided me a handle to hold onto when I was painting the edges of the letters.
