Enjoy! For any occasions (wedding, birthday, anniversary, Wooden Love Sign, Personalized and Outdoor signs, Christmas, Valentine’s Day,…), custom wood signs are unique gifts to offer! Here are some of our selected signs sorted by categories. ![]() I’d love for you to check them out below.We are expert in Wooden Signs and made the selection of our favorite signs. My talented friends made their own unique projects using 1×2’s. Then we slid the sign into the router channel of the frame and nailed it into place with a brad nailer. We used a router with a 1/4″ straight bit to cut a channel into the frame, then I stained it with General Finishes Antique Walnut gel stain. When it was dry I lightly sanded it before removing the vinyl letters. I used Annie Sloan chalk paint in Old White for this because I have a ton of it, but again, you can use any type of paint for this. ![]() Once that was dry, I painted over it with white paint (or use whatever color you want the background to be). This just helps to ensure your letters are crisp. I adhered the vinyl letters to the board, then went over it with another coat of black paint. (Again, I realize this needs a more in depth tutorial and I’ll get one on the blog soon). I used a Silhouette machine to cut the letters in vinyl. I used cheap acrylic craft paint and literally just squirted it onto the board then rolled it around with a small foam roller. I painted the plywood with a coat of primer, then two coats of black paint (or whatever color you want your letters to be). Cost of the board was $9.50.įor the frame, I used a 1″x2″ furring strip (cost was $.85). I purchased a 2’x4′ piece and asked the store to cut it into 3 1’x2′ pieces. I used a piece of 1/4″ sanded plywood to create the main section of the sign. In the meantime, here are basic instructions on how I made the sign. However, because the sign was really easy to make, I ordered my own router and I promise I’ll do a full tutorial with lots of pictures and exact instructions soon. I’d never made a sign like this before, and I had to borrow my neighbor’s router. Now I have to tell you from the beginning, this isn’t really a full-blown tutorial. Some links in this post are affiliate links. Since our Monthly DIY Challenge item this month is 1×2’s, I thought I’d try to create an easy framed wood sign. One thing I’ve been toying with is creating signs and chalkboards to add some small items. Not only does it make the booth look better, but you sell more product when you have a wide range of prices. It’s a good idea to have lots of “smalls” in addition to bigger pieces of furniture. ![]() I know we can manage it, but I’m still just trying to find the right balance where I can finish projects on time and also keep my house from not looking like a tornado just rolled through. It’s been a little chaotic trying to balance home life with young kids, the blog, and the new and improved effort with the booth. The effort is paying off and stuff is selling quickly. ![]() We’ve really been putting a solid effort in and adding new inventory at least once every single week. We shopped thrift stores, and we painted, and we shopped some more. I’m a little embarrassed to admit that over the holidays we just kind of just left the space to manage itself and didn’t really add new inventory or check on it much.įast forward to January, and we decided we really need to put more of an effort into our booth or perhaps maybe give it up. We’ve always used it as an easy way to unload furniture we paint for the blog, but we’ve not really put much work into it beyond that. Most of you know my mom and I have a booth space located in an antique mall.
