Step One
Cut your words designs out on a piece of removable vinyl. In this case, we used full sheets of vinyl so I could cut it to size, lay over the piece of wood, and stencil the entire saying on each board. It was more wasteful with the vinyl but much easier to get the placement right for the words. Watch for vinyl sales and plan ahead, it will save money in the long run. You could also use contact paper as well. It is more sticky so peeling the finish off the wood is more likely but you could always touch that up after if you want to save money that way.
Step Two
Place the vinyl transfer onto the front of the vinyl, stick it down evenly, and use your pick tools to pull out any of the lettering that you want to stencil onto the board.
Step Three
Next, lay your stencil onto the board and press down evenly. Pull off the transfer paper, be sure that each of the letter centers and all of the vinyl sticks to the board as you pull the transfer paper off. Take your time on this step. This is what will show when you are stenciling and you want to be sure the edges are stuck down and in the right position.
Step Four
Use your stencil brush and white paint to stencil the lettering onto the boards. I recommend doing a second coat to get a nice white finish on the words. Be sure the stencil is stuck down as you add the paint to avoid bleeding under the letters.
Then remove the vinyl and you have your word signs!! You can save a lot of cash by creating these yourself, even if you hire the cutting of the vinyl out by someone that has a machine.
Have fun! Enjoy the process!! And get creative! We’d love to see your finished signs so feel free to share photos on any of our Social Media Platforms below!
