Before I could get started I needed to thoroughly clean my surface. I mixed some dish soap with hot water and scrubbed the surface of the side table with a sponge.
Once I had cleaned everything off, I removed all of the soap using clean water and paper towels. It’s very important to remove all of the soap.
Then I sanded it with a 220 sanding sponge. Sanding the surface will help the paint adhere better later on.
Using an offset spatula, I spread a layer of ready mixed drywall compound over the top of the table.
I spread it unevenly over the entire surface. It’s important to keep the texture produced by spreading it with the spatula.
Then I went back with the spatula and pressed it down into the drywall compound and lifted to create peaks.
Next I went back over the peaks I had created and lightly brushed over them, to create a dragged effect. I made sure to do this in a few different directions to make it look random. Once I was happy with the texture, I left it to dry completely overnight. If you want to speed up the process you can use a hairdryer. I also used this time to paint the legs of the table.
Once everything was dry I lightly sanded the top of the table and then wiped off any dust.
How you do this part is totally up to you, but I chose to work with two smaller stencils for my design.
