Painted Barnwood Sign

Several times a month I host DIY pallet painting parties at my home. One of the gals that has come out to a party, and works at my son’s school, asked me to paint a “parking” sign for my son’s teacher’s baby shower…wow that was a mouthful…hope you got all that!
She supplied the piece of barn wood and I did the rest.
Using my handy Cricut machine, I cut the letters for the word “PARKING” and an arrow. After I sprayed the back of the letters with repositionable adhesive, I arranged them and the arrow on the sign.
I whipped up a batch of the chalk paint using about 4 oz. of the navajo white paint, 1/8 C. of paint powder and 1 TBL of warm water. What creamy goodness!!!
Next, I used a white paint pen to outline the letters then removed the letters, so that I could fill in them with the chalk paint I mixed up.
