Even if you don't fancy yourself a painter, you can make this sign! See how easy it is to get the perfect script every time and add a little Scandinavian charm to your holiday decor.
Start with a piece of raw wood approximately two feet long.
Next you want to add a backdrop for your words.
Next you want to add your text. Once you the text you would like and have it placed how you would like it, tape it in place. Slip a piece of graphite paper under the words (dark side down) and trace the outline of each letter using a pen.
Finally, use a beautiful red paint to fill in each letter using a small, thin paint brush.
When paired with all of the gorgeous natural accents you see in Scandinavian design, the red and white looks beautiful.
