“S” is for Signage

October 15, 2011

Handpainted Holiday Boutique signage.

A fun, festive, informative sign.

Two plywood boards hinged together and some paint.

Yes I will be at this show selling some items, more on that in a later post.

Here’s how I made the sign:

1. Print out letters to size and lay out on board:
(The board is 2 pieces of plywood hinged together at the top.)
2. Paint border.
Trace letters with ballpoint pen to leave indent in wood, paint inside indent:
3. Repeat process for all wording:
4. Add green accents lines and dots:
Seal with clear acrylic.
Ready to place roadside.
One done, three more to go!  Yes I’ll be painting all weekend.

    Such a cute sign! Have fun painting all weekend. I tried your ballpoint pen indentation method – worked like a charm on wood! Thanks for that tip!
