Instructions
Print out the download using a laserjet printer. Trim to fit the boards.
Stain the edges of the wood panels (going around the front a little). After the stain dries, sand them lightly.
Apply the Mod Podge to the wood pieces using the rolling applicator (one at a time).
Lay down the graphics on the front of the wood, smoothing out the air bubbles as you go. Let dry for 15 - 20 minutes.
Give the edges of the paper a light sanding just to give it a bit of character (this step is optional).
Flip all the panels over, line them up and screw on the scrap wood connectors with the drill.
Seal the sign front with Mod Podge. Apply a full coat, let dry for 15 - 20 minutes, and then repeat with a second coat.
Notes
If using inkjet printouts, spray with clear acrylic sealer or hairspray on both sides.
