Hi All! Today on the blog I am going to share a few small super simple handmade signs. These signs can be made from scrap wood. Easy to make and would look cute on a shelf or mantle.
Super Simple Handmade Signs
These handmade signs are really easy to make. Start off with raw wood then give them some color with wood stain. I like a water-based stain. Makes for easy clean up, and I’m all about easy!
Let the stain sit for about 30 seconds then wiped it off with a clean soft rag. It only took one coat to achieve this color of stain on the wood.
Next, use white acrylic paint to stencil in the wording. A little paint goes a long way when stenciling.
Two for the bathroom and one laundry room sign.

Supplies for Wood Signs

Hi! I shared on Twitter and I saved to Pinterest. I love these signs and one would look absolutely adorable in my farmhouse bathroom. I would consider giving one to my daughter though as a gift.
