Escort Card Door Display
Printable Instructions

Materials

• Old Door with a screen or window hole on the top half/top ¾ of the door
• Sand Paper
• 1 Qt. Paint in Color of choice (flat finish)
• Tack Cloth
• 4 Metal Shelf Brackets with matching screws
• 4” paint brush
• Chicken Wire aka Poultry Netting : 36in x 25ft (either 1” or 2” hex – we used 2”)
• Optional: Brass Darkening Solution
• Tools: Heavy duty stapler, screwdriver, wire cutters, paint scraper

Instructions

1. Remove glass or screen from door
2. Scrape excess paint and sand door until smooth
3. Remove excess dust by using tack cloth
4. If desired, apply brass darkening solution to wire and allow to dry
5. Place door on two saw horses (boxes will work just fine if you don’t own saw horses)
6. Begin painting door – to achieve an “old door” look, be sure to use flat finish paint and a wide brush. Don’t worry about covering perfectly or showing brush strokes. The uneven paint and brush strokes will give your door an original look.
7. Once side 1 of the door dries, flip the door and paint side 2 in the same manner
8. When side two is dry, cover the door in the hole with chicken wire and staple it to the door
9. Screw shelf brackets on all four sides of the bottom of the door to allow the door to stand on its own
