Simple Sign

I have been wanting to make this EAT sign for weeks now

but I was stuck on how to do the letters

I am in no way artistic enough to hand paint them

and I didn't want to use vinyl if I was just going to rip it off

to get the effect I wanted - seemed like a waste

So yesterday I happened to come across this idea

print out the letters on a regular printer

cut them out with an exacto knife

and glue them on your board with a glue stick.

Say what!?!  It couldn't be that simple could it?

I figured it was totally worth a try

especially since I actually had all the materials lying around at home

I don't know why but I have always wanted to say that

maybe that is why I can't resist picking up junk treasures

here and there and apparently starting a

collection of spray paint (and wall paint and craft paint)

see honey I did it all for a reason!

Anyway I had this board out in the garage

So I brought it in, cleaned it up and glued on my letters

and started my painting process

I put a few layers on each section to get the look I wanted

there was no ryhme or reason to how I went about it

just kind of made it up as I went

Then I peeled off the letters (and they came off so easy!)

and holy crow it worked!

I then sanded it to get the look I wanted and that's it

A handmade sign in under 30 min

I think I gotta get a fork...that knife just isn't doing it for me...

So easy!!  The wheels are already turning on other ones I could do!
