Easy Stenciled Sign

Hi friends,

Do you like to go to DOLLAR TREE for craft supplies?

I found these large wood cut outs.

For this price I can't even buy the wood and I don't

have to ask for help from Mr. FRESH VINTAGE....





I liked the tree shape-

The tree was 11.5'' tall !




I used acrylic paint to cover the tree front and back.

The color I had on hand was English Moss.

 


 The wood cutouts come with a jute hanger.

I had a small 1'' wood star that I painted gold.

I untied the jute and added the wood star.

 

I had this stencil- I thought I could make  a small sign.

The best part about stencils is you can pick and choose

what part of the stencil to use.

I checked what would fit on my sign, then

blocked off the other areas with painters tape and paper.


I painted only the area I wanted by moving and adjusting

the stencil with tape.

Letting the paint dry before moving the stencil to another section.





I gave the tree a light sanding.

Then used a spray sealer over the whole sign.

Just in case someone wants to put the sign outside.





I want to get a good head start on Christmas!

Thank you-

xo Lisa S
