You walk into a home decor store and you see them everywhere . Yes the rustic wooden signs. In all sizes , styles and patterns . I so wanted to make one for our home. And I finally did but at a fraction of the cost they sell for in stores . I had wooden planks left over from some wood work at home . All I did was sanded a plank , painted it and used it to make the sign . I used Cricut Explore Air 2 to make the lettering. Since I had white permanent vinyl at hand I used it for the script . Alternatively you can also make a stencil with Cricut . And then paint the letters using the stencil . I love using fonts . I also love quotes and phrases . Pair them together and a rustic sign for your home is ready . It's that simple. If you do not have any of these materials at hand no worries at all . You can still make a sign . Yes you totally can . How? Read the tips below .
Tips -
1.Start with a pizza box to make your sign . It totally works .
2. Use a paint pen to trace the stencil instead of using a paint and a brush .
3. You can also print the lettering on a regular paper and trace it onto the wooden plank with a blunt lead pencil . Alternatively use wax paper to make stencils or even to transfer images .
