I love the look of family name signs. I have seen them everywhere on Etsy, Pinterest, Amazon. These signs bring individuality into a room. They also make a budget friendly gift especially if you are a DIY kind of person. I recently made this sign and cannot be happier the way it came out. As always my Cricut Explore Air 2 did the magic. The recipient family absolutely loved it. They thought it was professionally made and not my DIY art. That was the best compliment I have ever received . Now I cannot wait to try some more wood signs .
Materials -
Blank wood sign
Vinyl
Transfer tape
Cricut Explore Air 2
Step by step instructions -
1. I used Cricut design space to finalize my design . I used couple different fonts. The sizing of the letters was based on the size of blank wood .
2. I used Cricut Explore Air 2 to cut the letters/names onto the black vinyl. I used Oracle 651 permanent black vinyl.
3. After carefully weeding the letters I used Cricut transfer tape to make the stickers. Next I carefully applied them onto the wood sign. The Cricut XL scraper came in very handy for the smooth wrinkle free application.
4. I applied the letters part by part , carefully scraping to remove any bubbles before I pulled out the transfer tape finally.
4. I used my heart punch for the little red hearts. The red color was the perfect pop of color against the white background and black letters.
Tips -
1. Use a good sticky mat to help cut and weed the letters.
2. I highly recommend using a good quality transfer tape to make the final stickers after weeding .
3. Do not skip using the scraper for a smooth application. Take your time to apply the letters onto the board .
