Custom Wood Sign

Learn how to stencil your own custom wood sign with this easy tutorial.
Yield: 2 signs

Instructions

  • Grab your large round wooden board or scrap wood. I painted mine with a base coat of Brook from Fusion Mineral Paint. Let dry completely before moving on.
  • Grab your floral transfer and cut enough to cover sections of your board based on the amount you wish to cover.Be sure you leave enough space for your Stencil to stand out on your board.
  • Apply your transfer with your flat edge transfer sheet tool but pressing firmly. Pay attention to the curves of your round board when placing the transfer, so you don't leave a gap of space.
  • Be sure your transfer sheet is securely adhered to your board before you begin removing the backing.
  • Slowly peel back plastic backing. Grab your “I Love Our Life” stencil, With your finger dauber begin dabbing in some Bayberry in the lettering of your stencil. Dab carefully.
  • Highlight your lettering a bit to help it pop out from your bed of florals. Let dry a bit with your heat gun. Use Dark Titanium White to highlight. Carefully place your stencil back over your letters shifted just a bit off to add the white pop of color.
  • Once dry, add some edging to your sign’s edges with your finger daubers. Lightly rub, just adding a little detail to your sign. You can add a sealer to this if you want, but I did not.
