Yield: 1 pizza peel
Materials
Instructions
- Grab your large pizza peel and apply a coat of your base color. I used Cathedral Taupe for my color. Dry completely. To save time, you can use a heat gun.
- Apply your large stencil to add a fun lightly textured background. Use a finger dauber to add your details. Use a paper towel to help control any bleeding.
- Grab your Fall Transfers images and determine which you love best. That is the beauty of CUSTOMIZED y’all! Cut from the main sheet to fit your desired space and overall vision for your DIY Pizza Peel.
- Apply your transfer with your flat edge transfer sheet tool by pressing firmly. Pay attention to the curves of your pizza when placing the transfer, so you don't leave a gap of space. (This is only if you have the transfer run off the edges.)
- Be sure your transfer sheet is securely adhered to your board before you begin removing the backing.
- Slowly peel back plastic backing. Play with placements of transfers and overlap where you like. Add as many or as little as you like.
- Blend your edges a bit of you transfer on your pizza peel with a sanding block. If you have to touch up the edges with paint, you can or keep the roughed up look if you like.
- Use a baby wipe, to help remove your debris or to correct any painting mistakes. Dry completely. You can stop here if you want.
- To accentuate that exposed wood, use some stain & finishing oil to seal. Lightly brush on covering the whole front of your pizza peel.
- Grab a shop towel and begin to remove that layer of finishing oil. It darkens it a bit to add a fun new look to your pizza peel. It will really soak into your raw wood exposing it. Dry with a heat gun.
- Add some added detail to the handle by placing some jute on there. Hot glue the end on the back of your paddle handle. Begin wrapping and wrapping and wrapping. Tie the end into a little bow to make it extra cute. Hot glue to secure.
- Use that jute to create a hanger by tying it through the hole.
