Chevron is a cool design pattern from the 1960's and 70's. My first attempt on this was an epic fail! The craft paint got lumpy. My second coat of paint pulled off the first, even though I prep sanded and waited for the top-coat to dry? So, I scrubbed all the craft paint off and restarted using spray paint.
***TIP***
Reuse your chevron tape! Let it dry after painting, then place onto waxy side of freezer paper. Roll it up to store:)
Hi Michele, I noticed only now that you are on Guidecentral. Liked your projects, and the high-quality photography. Did you need a lot of time to learn how to make professional shots of your work in progress? You're GOOD! - one day I hope to come close to making such photos ;) hugs, Damjana
