DIY Handpainted Thirty-One Gifts Sign

August 17, 2012

Paint: thirty-one gifts sign

One of my extended family members is a consultant for Thirty-One Gifts and she asked if I would make this collage style sign for her home office:

The ‘B’ butterfly is part of her team logo, it’s painted in silver but a bit hard to see in the photos: 

She requested a black background with white lettering and bright pink details, we settled on white for the frame and I think it works great:

In addition to the inspiring words and team logo she included her start date:

Here’s how I made the sign:


1. Print out lettering and arrange layout to fit board:
(I used a 12″ x 12″ piece of craft paper to simulate board.)

2. Cut 3/4″ plywood board at 12″ x 12″, prime and paint black.
Layout lettering and trace outline of letters using a ballpoint pen:

3. Paint on and inside the indent left behind by the pen:

4. The key and large ‘B’ are painted in silver:

5. Add fuchsia dots with back end of paintbrush:

6. To make the key appear in the background, almost shadow-like, use fine 220 grit sandpaper and gently tone down the paint:

7. Seal the sign with clear spray gloss.
8. Cut 7/8″ lattice wood strips to fit for frame:

9. Prime and paint wood strips white gloss:

10. Glue and nail strips in place:
11. Add a sawtooth hanger at center back:
