Step 1: Cut 1/2″ plywood.  Print out letters, I used Coolock Black font in 250 point and google skull images.

 

trace letters onto wood board
Step 2: Place print out on top of wood and trace letters with ballpoint pen.

 

paint around outline of letters
Step 3: The pen should leave an indent in the wood.  Place black around the indent.
