Steps to make a DIY America Wood Sign

1 – To begin, wipe down your 5 foot wooden board to clean it up from any debris.

2 – Grab your Minwax Wiping Stain and Finish. Wipe over your entire board, edges as well, with a rag to give it a good stain.

3 – Be sure your stain is nice and even throughout.

4 – With a towel, just give a good wipe.

5- Grab your “God Bless America” letter stencils and place on your board. Position how you like.

6 – Grab red, white, and blue acrylic paints. Squirt a bit out on a paper plate, construction paper, etc.

7 – With your jumbo finger sponge daubers or a painting sponge and some blue paint, begin dabbing/pouncing “God bless” from your stencil set on your board. Be sure you are holding your stencil in place as you work, adding a bit of paint so it doesn’t bleed through.

8 – When you are finished with your painting sponge daubers, you can rinse them out, and use them again. Just don’t forget about them.

9 – Grab your red acrylic paint next, and paint your star. Be sure your acrylic is thick and not transparent.

10 – With white paint next, dab your letter “A” remembering to hold your stencils in place as you work. 

11 –  Letter “M” will be red. Alternate your colors, with white and red as you paint in your letters for America on your sign. Repeat throughout your sign.

12 – Paint the tiny stars found throughout the letters of “America” on your stencil to accentuate your patriotic colors for this project. 

13 – Now that you are finished carefully remove your stencils and let it dry completely. 

14 – To seal, especially if your sign will be placed outside, use a polyurethane spray to finish up your board.

You will love displaying your America wood sign this summer or even all year long. It is the perfect way to show your love for America.
