Instructions
For The Wood:
- Cut the planks to desired size
- Nail the back of the sign to hold in place with Long pain stir sticks
- Sand with the sander to smoothen
For The Sign
- Arrange the words onto the sign however you like them
- Put strips of transfer paper under each sheet

- Make the painting as rustic as you'd like.
- Leave gaps and unpainted areas to make it look slightly worn.
