Create Rustic Signs Using a Vinyl Cutter
Today has been a quick one. I've been a sign making fool!
I love the week between Christmas and the New Year. I'm a teacher and honestly I barely get dressed all week. Yoga pants, sweatshirts and slippers are the uniform of the week and I have to keep asking my husband the day of the week.
Today I decided to get some work done. My new 2018 mantra is GROW and to do that I need to get busy!

I cut out a whole bunch of stencils using my Silhouette vinyl cutting machine. (it's at a great price too!)
I just discovered Oracal 813 stencil film and I'm loving it! It is semi-transparent so it is easy to see where you're placing the stencil on the wood.
I bought wood in 6' lengths and painted one side of the entire length. When the paint was dry I cut the wood to size and stenciled on my words using a flat stencil brush.
I left the sides and the back of the sign raw wood because when I'm finished I'm going to glaze the entire sign with Rustoleum Transformations Decorative Glaze. I found it at Home Depot. It not only stains the wood, but it antiques the front of the sign. It cleans up easily too which is almost the best part!
I was in my workshop all day today, coming up only to eat.
When I was finished I had completed a whole new batch of rustic signs and I have to say they are some of my best work yet!
I will be adding them to my Etsy Shop soon!
