Blessed Sign

I saw a sponsored ad on Facebook that had a sign that said "blessed". I loved it and decided I could probably make it myself for next to nothing.

Thankfully, my dad (a master carpenter) had a few extra boards from a project. I grabbed a few to make the sign and my husband glued them up and added some strips on the back for extra support.

Once I had the board made, I sanded it smooth and spray painted it with an off white color called heirloom white.

Next, I decided on a font I liked and printed it large enough to cover the length of the sign. You could use a font in any word processor or purchase one you like.

Then, I used a charcoal pencil to color the back of the paper. You just have to color where your letters are so that they transfer to the wood. (You could skip this step and just buy graphite transfer paper. OR if you have a cricut, you could cut out a stencil to use. I don't have a cricut and didn't feel like leaving the house to get transfer paper so I employed a trick my friend Amy taught me.)

Once you have the back of the paper colored in, flip it over and tape it to the board. Here is where you want to make sure your word/words are centered and exactly where you want them.
