A Stenciled THANKFUL Sign

 

 Yes, technically another stencil project !

I do a lot of hand lettering but stencils allow you to make a consistent project that

can be repeated over and over. Perfect every time!
 

 

I found these Galvanized Metal Script Words at DOLLAR TREE !

 

What are you kidding me ? Three in a pack for one dollar !!!!

 

.....RUN TO DOLLAR TREE!

 

 

I saw just one at Joanns' Fabric for $6.00 the same size- really!

 

 

 

We are going to use this one for now. 

 

 My scraps of pallet wood were 4" x 9"

 

I used some dark stain and allowed to dry.

 

I love the galvanized look! Yes, you could just glue it down and be done.

 

But then you can only get one use out of your sign.

 

If we use it as a stencil we can make many signs with our $1.00 purchase !

 

 

Great sign as is but we are doing more!

 

 

 

 

I used white acrylic paint and a stencil brush.

 

 

I was a bit heavy handed on the first one, the next one

 

came out better. 

 

 

Any areas with a little bleed through can be fixed with an exacto knife

 

scratching to make a cleaner edge.

 

 

 I cleaned these up.

 

 

 

 

Clean your "stencil" with soap and water.





 

 

The top "thankful"sign is just white paint.

 

The lower sign was gently wiped down with the rag that I used to stain the board.

 







Here are a few different looks.



 

 Just an easy sign to add to a shelf !

 



 

 

 

 

This would be a nice gift to share, add to your Antique booth

 

or make for the Holiday Boutiques.

 

 

 Signs are an easy way to show a change of season.

 

 

 





 

Just tucked in a wreath !

So I will be able to make endless amounts of signs and I still have the original

 

Galvanized Metal pieces. I think that was a good use of $1.00.

 

I am so happy to share my ideas with you. I read and respond to all comments.

 

Please visit again, and have a wonderful day!
