Boy's Room Decor: Wooden Superman Logo

Project #2 of the Boy's Room Superhero Remodel is a hand painted, wooden Superman Logo

This project did not involve my superhero duck tape lol!

It consisted of time, paint and more meticulous TIME!

Materials needed:

Plywood

Paint- red and yellow

Jigsaw

Sand paper

Ruler

Pencil

Superman Logo to follow

I googled several logos and chose to free hand the image onto my plywood.

I first created the exterior portion of the logo on the plywood with pencil... Once I was satisfied I cut it out using a jigsaw.

I then, lightly sanded the edges with 60 grit sandpaper

Next, I needed a logo that was clear and easy to follow for my S design. Since I was not using it as a stencil I chose two and bounced between them when drawing to get better detail.

Here are the logos I followed:

Note: make sure you have a GOOD eraser :-)

This is how mine turned out:

Now it's time to paint!

I painted the red portion first...

I just used basic acrylic paint.

Once dry, apply yellow and voila! You have a Superman Logo or "shield" as my son calls it!
