DIY "Beach is My Happy Place" Vinyl Wood Sign

Start off with a wood board and white wash it. My board is a 7x7 pine wood, but really any size will work. To whitewash the wood just dilute the white paint with water and paint it on.

Cut your vinyl on your cutting machine. I used my old personal Cricut, had it over over 13 years and still works great! I did a simple font in caps and lower case. I picked out colors of StyleTechCraft vinyl that looked like ocean water, in both the opal and the craft glossy finishes

Next is the weeding and placing of the words to they fit on the word board. After weeding the parts of the vinyl you do not want out, place it on the transfer tape to stick to your board. Have fun the the colors and placement of the words, change it up and make it look fun!

I just love that opal vinyl, it has such a pretty shine to it, holographic almost! Each angle you look at the sign it will have a different color of green and glue, just like the ocean! Last steps are to place the vinyl on your board, make sure to press it firmly so it sticks and stays in place, and then glue down the rope around the board so it has a pretty finish and hangs nice!
