I a was lucky enough to come across someone who was giving an old paddle on Marketplace to the first person interested. I was event more lucky to be that famous ”first person” who was able to benefit from this incredible deal! I already knew exactly what I was going to do with this chance and I will explain here how to turn an old paddle into a decorative object.
Products used
- Electric sander and sandpaper 100
- Masking tape
- Colorantic Night chalk-based paint
- Colorantic Black Coal wax
- Oval Colorantic paint brush
- Round wax brush 16 mm
- Stencil with letters

This project is very easy to do and I would even say the fastest. In all, it took me 3 hours to complete this project here’s how:
First, the important thing was to remove all the old varnish that was left on the paddle. So I used an electric sander and with à 100 grit sandpaper, I was able to remove the varnish in no time.
Next, I applied green paint masking tape to marl out the areas I wanted to paint. Two coats of Colorantic Night paint were sufficient to achieve the right result. With the stencil, I did te same exercise again to write the last name of my partner and my boys. I would have liked to put my last name too, but Bourque-Ouellet is unfortunately a bit too long and, according to my kids, it sound less cool than Pigeon!
A FREE Marketplace listing, great Colorantic products and 3 jours later I had a new decorative elelement to add to my decor! In short, this is a project that is done in no time. It allors me the option to personalize my entry way, while earnig me kind wors from my guests.
