How to create your own terrazzo print
If you're a fan of the trend for terrazzo, this tutorial from Rust-Oleum will be of interest...
You will need
- Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint
- Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Lacquer (spray)
- Homebase Clever Cube
- MDF sheet (cut to size)
- Cutting mat
- Sticky-back plastic
- Stanley knife
- Drill and screws
- Rust-Oleum Artist Brushes
- Roller and tray
- Brackets
- Paint stirrer & opener
Step 1
Take your chosen shade of Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint for the base (we used Chalk White) and stir thoroughly before use.
Paint the top, sides and front of the MDF sheet with a roller and leave this to dry. Chalky Finish Furniture Paint is perfect for MDF as there’s no need to prime. You may require a second coat.
Step 2
To create your stencil, place the sticky back plastic on the cutting mat and begin to cut out a terrazzo design with a stanley knife. If needed, print out a picture of terrazzo and used this as a guide.
Step 3
Stick your stencil to the MDF, ensuring it’s secure. Take your remaining Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint shades and paint in your design.
We chose Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint in Ink Blue, Belgrave and Duck Egg.
Step 4
Personalise the Clever Cube to match your project. We painted the top two sections of the cube (and the wall brackets) with Rust-Oleum Chalky Finish Furniture Paint in Belgrave. We also attached hooks for additional compact organisation!
Step 5
Once dry, protect and seal the paint with Rust-Oleum Furniture Finishing Lacquer.
Step 6
Using a drill and screws, attach the brackets to the wall and secure the terrazzo table top in place.
