Miracle Sign
Crafts
Wednesday, December 21, 2011
This was a FAST and Easy but beautiful gift I made for my brother and sister in law and their new baby!
This sign was F.R.E.E - my favorite kind!!!
Materials you will need:
2x4 piece of wood
white acrylic paint
ballpoint pen
printer and ink
wood stain
1. I found wood in my fire pit! First I sanded it and then I put it in the oven for 15 mins on 250 so any bugs would die - you would be surprised how many things end up on the baking sheet - YUK
2. Then I printed the word miracle. I used the tutorial here for an awesome way to transfer letters to wood and get them perfect every time! This lady is crazy smart! Visit her blog!!!
3. I used a ball point pen to trace the letters on the wood. You press super hard and it makes the smallest lightest imprint - but its enough! Paint your object on the inside. See on the right the indent it makes?! Awesome right?!!?
4. Then I painted it white! The font I used was called Easy Open Face.
5. Once it is dry you can put minwax stain on it. I used dark walnut. I swear it WON'T ruin your project -
6. Once it is stained - let it dry - YOU ARE DONE!!!
Sit back and admire your work!!!
Leave a comment!!! I would love to hear how you have done wood projects!!!

How cute! I saw this on Pinterest tonight. Can you show the back of the sign? How will it hang?
ReplyDeleteHi! I gave them the teeth hook on the back, but they put it on a shelf. I don't have a picture since they have it already. I didn't attach because I'm not saw savvy. :)
