“S” is for Sandy Feet

July 2, 2012

Paint: peace, love and sandy feet sign

Handpainted signs requested by a friend.

My friend sent me this inspiration picture of a sign she found in a shop:

And I made this version:

Here’s how I handpainted the signs:

1. Cut 1x4x8 pine board into 3 pieces, 26″ each.
Paint two coats light green:
2. Print out letters, I used Universal Accrediatation font at 275 point:

3. Line up words on painted board.
Using a ballpoint pen trace letters with heavy pressure to create indent in wood:

4. Using white acrylic, paint on and inside the indent left behind by the pen:

5. Sand to distress lettering:

6. Apply Minwax early american stain:

7. Seal with clear satin polycrylic:

8. Hammer in two sawtooth hangers on each sign:

Ready to hang:
