"Laundry" and "Create" door signs

This is my bathroom door... 

I made this sign several years ago.

Today I'm making a "laundry" sign and a sign for my craft room/office that says "create".

First I painted a board black, let it dry and printed out the word "laundry" on the computer using a font and a size that worked with the size of the board.


Next, using graphite paper, I traced around each letter and painted the letters white with acrylic craft paint.

Using a medium grade sand paper when the paint was dry, I sanded down the letters until they looked old and worn.

Then using raw umber acrylic paint and a damp rag, I rubbed the color over the lettering. 


This gave the sign an aged look.


Then I let it dry.... and started the "create" sign...

Lastly,  I screwed the signs to the doors.
