Recipes
Apple Tic Tac Toe
Supplies-
-
Small faux decorative apples
-
Wax paper
-
Paint
-
Paint brush
-
Plywood
-
Wood stain
-
Stain rag
-
Painter’s tape
-
Baby wipes or wet cloth
​
Basic steps -
-
We used red and green apples to go with our theme. And used barn red paint and a matte teddy bear tan paint to tone down the bright red and green of the original-colored apples.
-
Lay down a sheet of wax paper to protect whatever surface you are painting on.
-
Take the apples and start applying a thin layer of paint with your dry brush and let sit for 30 min to an hour.
-
While the apples are drying, Take the plywood and tape off the plywood 2 even strip horizontally and 2 strips vertically. To make a tic tac toe board.
-
Take the brush and start adding a light layer of stain to the board. Let it sit for about 2 minutest then use an old rag to wipe off any access stain.
-
Let the stain dry for 24 hours.
-
Once the stain has had time to dry, take the baby wipe or wet cloth and add brown paint to the edges and wipe lightly to get a rustic look on the board.
-
Peel away tape and you can paint over where you had the tape with a white paint to accentuate the lines.
*Tips & Tricks*
-Use very little stain and try to not paint over the painters tape to avoid the stain from seeping where you taped off on the board. If it does spread a little that’s ok you can paint over it to show where the boarder is for the tic tac toe.
-If you like a darker stained wood. You can repeat the staining step a couple of times to get the desired darkness you like.
-If you like a more rustic look, you can use a brown paint and go round the edges with a baby wipe or wet cloth and smear a little brown paint around the edges.
-You can leave the apples the color they came in or paint them to match your color scheme.
-Using a dry brush for painting the apples will help make for a realistic feel to the apple.
