Rustic HOME Sign with a Seasonal Wreath
It is no secret that I love everything rustic and black and white too!
Today I'm combining those two loves in one adorable, easy to make rustic sign. This fun sign has a changeable O for the seasons!
If you have a piece of old fence post or an old repurposed board, grab it and follow along!
See how it is done! ...
This project began with an old fence board that I cut down into 2 matching pieces.
I attached the fence boards with a piece of scrap wood on the back.

The front of the boards were painted with a white chalky paint and when it dried I sanded the cr#p out of it with the electric sander.
I sanded until there was almost more sanded area then paint.
Now it was ready for my stencil.
Today I'm using a stencil I've had for a while from Old Sign Stencils. It is the Farmhouse stencil and lucky enough it had just the right letters in Farmhouse to stencil the word HOME.
To satisfy my love for black and white and graphic designs I am stenciling today with Coal Black by Fusion Mineral Paint. The deep rich black will be in direct contrast to the light sanded rustic paint surface.
I centered the E at the bottom of the board then ran a line of painter's tape along the edge so I could make the H at the top centered in the same place.
I'm not stenciling the O for this project but you certainly could. I'm creating a space that you can fill with a seasonal wreath or ornament.
First I made a wire wreath but I'll show you several other options. I wrapped the covered wire around something round about 10 times then slid it off. I twisted the end of the wire around the circle several times to create the look of a wreath.
You can also use a leafy wire to make a wreath that looks like a small boxwood wreath. I do love this look too.
You can attach the wreath with a staple gun that uses small U-type staples. The small staples can be hidden by the wreath.
Tie a simple little black and white ribbon on the wire wreath and you've got a simple barbed wire look.

Another idea is to use a dot of velcro and use a snowflake, heart, or shamrock for the O and change it with the season!
Here is a technique I use often when my paint bleeds slightly under the stencil, I use a razor blade to scrape off the paint! It works very well especially on unpainted surfaces.
Another little helpful hint is the pallet I use for stenciling... I use an old tile (you can see it's been used a lot!) to offload the paint as I stencil so I don't get too much paint on the brush.
This cute sign is the perfect representation of the styles I love in my home! Rustic and bold black and white design.
And it is so much fun to change out the O!
Use any colors that go with your home on this easy to stencil sign.
