Distressed Rope Art with Americana Paints

When we made over our toddler's bedroom along the Peter Pan theme, I knew that he needed something amazing over his bed with his name.

My husband and I started brainstorming unique ways to showcase his name and it dawned on me...use rope!

Materials

Nylon Rope

Hot Glue

Sable Brown Americana Paint by DecoArt

I'm going to start this tutorial with a tip: write each letter out individually with the rope {doubled up for stability}. You can attach them and burn the edges of your rope to ensure it doesn't fray on you once the project is completed. I found that by doing each letter individually, they were a little sturdier and I was able to manipulate the rope into the letters much easier.

Once you have attached all of your letters and the hot glue has hardened, get out a stiff brush and your Sable Brown paint. 

I really love how this project turned out. The letters are even recognizable to our 3 year old, who loves to now spell his name and point them out!
