- 1 piece scrap wood any size
- Acrylic paint two colors
- Adhesive vinyl and transfer tape
- Painter's tape I used washi tape
- Mod Podge Clear Acrylic Sealer or finish of your choice
- Sandpaper optional
Paint your scrap wood with acrylic paint. Let dry. Paint multiple coats if necessary.
Tape off the sides so that you can keep the base paint color around the edges.
I used my "trusty" Silhouette Cameo to cut out my wording for the sign, and basically make a stencil for the paint. I found an amazing font that actually matched my coffee cups (Moon Flower). Transfer the wording to the board using transfer tape, making sure to smooth it down. You want to make sure the vinyl sticks to the board very well so that when you paint, it won't bleed through.
Paint over the whole sign with your second color. I used two coats. Pull off the adhesive letters and let dry. Tweezers can come in handy here to help you grab the ends.
Seal your project with Mod Podge. You can use the spray or the liquid. Let dry.
