    1. Apply a coat of White Gesso to the back and front of each hockey stick. Purposefully make the Gesso uneven in various spots to help achieve a vintage look.
    2. Instruction #1
    3. Paint one coat of Carbon onto both hockey sticks with a foam brush.
    4. Instruction #2
    5. Sand any parts of the wooden letter and wipe clean with a damp paper towel.
    6. Paint one coat of Carbon onto both sides of the letter.
    7. Paint a rough coat of Rustic over the hockey stick and wooden letter, purposefully letting the Carbon show through.
    8. Instruction #5
    9. Go over the hockey sticks and wooden letter again with a random dry-brush of Carbon.
    10. Instruction #6
    11. For the wooden letter, paint the front surface with a rough, dry-brush coat of New Life and paint the edges in the same way with Inheritance.
    12. Instruction #7
    13. For the hockey sticks, use painter's tape to mask off thick stripes at the top of both sticks. (Be sure to line them up evenly.)
    14. Instruction #8
    15. Dry-brush Inheritance in between the New Life areas on the hockey sticks, again making sure that Carbon and Rustic show through here and there.
    16. Instruction #9
    17. Repeat the previous steps to create striping on the bottom of each stick.
