Hand lettering on concrete

Concrete home decor is becoming increasingly popular

And that should come as no surprise, because concrete is a versatile material that can be cast into almost any shape – like this little "Home Sweet Home" decoration, for instance, which has been transformed into a unique decorative ornament with the help of edding Permanent Spray paint and gloss paint markers.

Once dry, the little houses can be decorated with stylish hand lettering.

Step-by-step

Step 1

Cast the houses in concrete following the instructions supplied by the manufacturer. Allow to dry thoroughly. To achieve a striped effect, blank off specific sections of the house with masking tape. The item to be sprayed must be clean, dry and free from dust. It’s best to spray outdoors, with a large protective cover placed underneath.

Step 2

We recommend using horizontal and vertical strokes when spraying to ensure an even finish. Allow approx. 30 minutes for the paint to dry completely. Carefully remove the masking tape.

Step 3

Activate the gloss paint marker by following the instructions provided. Use the markers to add hand lettering to the painted surface. Start by drawing the outlines and then fill in the individual letters.
