Stencilled Holiday Sign

Materials Needed:

• 3 pieces of wood: 2 MDF boards cut 1' x 1 1/2' and 1 thin particle board cut 8"x10"
• letter and snowflake stencils
• stencil brush
• crafter’s satin base coat (white)
• pearl-effect paint (light blue)
• antique-effect paint

• red acrylic paint
• spray glitter
• glue gun
• staple gun
• wood glue, Liquid Nails or any strong adhesive

Assemble Boards

First, attach a thin board to the back of the two shelf pieces. This stabilizes the whole project and makes it easier to hang later. Add a layer of strong glue under the board and then use a staple gun to reinforce the board to the back of the shelf pieces.

Paint On Stencils

Once the base coat is dry, use your stencils and sponge brushes to write your message. This project was made using a stencil from a Silhouette machine but basic stencils can be used to create the same look. Peel up the stencil.
