Hey everybody! Happy Thanksgiving week! I won’t be posting much this week, and today’s post is short and sweet. I’m taking most of the week off and hope you’ll get plenty of family and rest time in too!
So here it is – my second attempt at chevron. If you remember I tried it a few months ago with my chevron Frogtape:
WELL. Funny story. When I was cleaning out the garage a couple weeks ago I realized I used the WRONG chevron tape. I work with Frogtape and they sent me their new shape tape before it even came out in the stores. This one must have been an early prototype that they didn’t use.
I grabbed this one off the shelf and didn’t even realize it was different from the others. The actual chevron Frogtape is actually much more chevron-y and less Charlie Brown-y.
I laughed out loud when I realized what I had done. Leave it to me. So last week I decided to do another little redo to that trash can.
I spray primed it and then spray painted it white…again. :) Then I played around with the tape to figure out the design I wanted. I was originally planning a thin line of chevron around the top and bottom but decided on a slightly different design instead:
I just offset the second line a bit to make it not exactly chevron.
I rubbed some gold rub n buff in between the tape and that was it!:
I decided simpler was better. :) Much better. This I love!
Their shape tape comes in three different designs – chevron, scallop and wave. (I showed you how I used the scallop design here.) As you can see you don’t have to use them as they come -- play around with them a bit to make your own look!
Want to try them out yourself? (You can see the designs here.) Leave a comment here this week and let me know which one you’d like to try! We’ll give away three of each design. I’ll announce the winner next week!
P.S. My friend Marty at A Stroll Thru Life has a lovely blog and highlighted me last week – go here to check it out!
