How To Make A Relax Vintage Sign

My easy relax vintage sign is a quick and easy way to add a little vintage charm to any home. 

 

When making this relax block sign I got a little ahead of myself and forgot to stain my wood first. So start off by staining or aging your block of wood. 

 

Then glue your scrapbook paper to your block of wood using Mod Podge, and smooth out any wrinkles. Flip over and sit something heavy on it till it dries. 

  

Now place on a cutting board and using an Exacto knife trim off the scrapbook extra paper. 

  

Take some sandpaper and rough up the edges. 

  

Now it’s time to add the design

  

to the left side of the block. 

Then stencil the word Relax. 

  

Adding some Distress stain around the edges of the block will enchants the vintage look of the relax block sign.

That’s it! These scrapbook paper vintage blocks are so easy and you can change the lettering of my relax vintage sign to say anything you choose. 

  

Then just sit on a shelf, table or mantel to add a little vintage charm.

      I really love this idea. Graphics are so big in decor, and I really like the look. These are small enough to sit in any area of your home. These would make really cool Christmas gifts, with words that you know the recipient will enjoy.

      I was thinking about my word of the year, last year was “Breathe” and this year is “Transparent” they would look great on the blocks and as I walked around the house these little blocks would remind me what I need to work on.

      Throw in a few more words like “love”, “family”, “Grow” and you could use them separately or stack them all together. Really great idea!!!

        These would be great as gifts and could be made in whatever size that you wanted.

        I think making blocks with your word of the year is a great idea.

        I made some stackables and my most popular one was Mr. & Mrs. made in 3 separate blocks.
