Christmas sign from scrap wood
by
Danylle M
I made this little, rustic Christmas sign for my mantel. I used a piece of 1 x 6 that was 32 inches long, Martha Stewart's Pearl Paint in Aqua and left over Min-wax English Chestnut Stain. Tutorial on the blog.
The pearl paint still shows bright, the stain just gives it an aged quality.
I wanted to keep it simple by just stenciling the word Christmas. I sanded the board and rounded the edges a bit with the palm sander. I laid out my stencils to make sure I had enough room for the entire word. I used 4 inch stencils i
I brushed the stain on the entire front side of the sign, right over the stencils, then wiped it off with a clean, lint free rag.
