If you can’t find the right-sized piece of salvaged wood, buy a new one, paint it, then distress it by sanding and banging it up with hand tools.

 

Here are some tools and supplies you might need for the job.
  • 12” x 5” Walnut Blank Wooden Hanging Sign Ready to Finish
  • Apple Barrel Acrylic Paint Set
  • Silhouette Cameo Wireless Cutting Machine
  • Cricut Explore Air
  • Adhesive Vinyl Sheets – 50 Pack Assorted Colors
  • Mod Podge Waterbase Sealer

Question- on the one sign that you used vinyl, you said you used modge podge…. Why did you use that? Does it help keep the paint from going under the vinyl??

Hey Wendy,

This is House of Hepworth’s design, yes that is what she used it for so that the paint wouldn’t seep under the vinyl.

Stacy,

Your best option is using firring strips on the back, one on each side and one in the middle. Attach them using either nails or a brad nailer if you have one.

Thanks,
Melissa

Do you use pallet wood?

Reply
Melissa May 23, 2017 - 7:17 PM

You definitely could Pat.

We stapled strong woven ribbons to the back of the pallet wood, then hung a zigzag hanger on the top board.
