There are so many tutorials on pinterest now about how to make vintage looking wooden signs. So I decided I would be adventurous and combine a few ideas and try my own.
What you will need:
- Poplar boards cut to whatever size you want your signs
- Grey and White Paint
- Paint brush
- Black Sharpie Marker
- Printed words in whatever size and font you want.
- Sandpaper, scissors, twine, glue gun.
I started out by spray painting the boards grey, you don’t have to use spray paint I just had some on hand. Then I white washed the boards. Pick and print the words and style you want I used words related to the bathroom but I have seen some really cute kitchen signs as well.
Poplar is pretty soft so I wrapped the printed paper word around the board and took a pen applied pressure to trace the word onto the board.
There will be a faint indent of the word on the board when you remove the piece of paper. Then take your sharpie and trace the indented word and fill in with black marker.
After all the signs have been filled in I sanded each one giving them a unique weathered appearance. Then measure three equal length pieces of twine and glue them to the back
That’s It! Then you hang and admire your hard (crafty) work :).
