On Thursday we spent a lot of time making the finishing touches on our bench. We were able to complete the outlines on all the designs and words. We went over the bench in white again so it looked clean and nice. We went over everything in the color it was before so that it also looked really clean and nice! The bench came along really nicely! Even though it was for sure much more challenging than we thought it was so fun and completely worth all our time and effort. On Friday we will go get the spray to finish it off!
On Wednesday we started our leg design. We had to first clean off the bench and wipe it down with water and paper towels to make sure there wasn't anything like dust or pencil shavings that the paint could dry over. When we finished this we put a trash bag over the parts of the bench that we didn't want to get paint over and then started our design. We're not giving anything away so a little hint is that it is super messy. Our design took a long time to finish, but it was really fun. After we finished we went over the entire bench in like a 5th coat of white. We painted white in between letters, pictures, words, etc. It took a very long time to make sure we didn't get any white paint over anything we had already painted. We had to let the paint dry so we stopped there and are going to finish the other coat on Thursday, and then the bench will finally be done!
