I stenciled the lettering on with grey acrylic paint and then did a top coat with a metallic silver acrylic paint to add a little wintery shimmer. I could have simply cut out the vinyl letters and applied them to my board but I decided to use my vinyl as a stencil and paint the letters on (You can purchase the stencil or lettering HERE if you don’t have a vinyl cutter and would like to make this!). You could do this on a slightly smaller scale with a Silhouette machine or Cricut as well. I then designed my “Let It Snow” design with my vinyl cutter program. Remove the painter’s tape and smile, because it is dang cute! 🙂 Then I painted in the stripes (I used Americana Acrylic Paint in Spa Blue). I then taped off my board every 2″ (using two pieces of 1″ painter’s tape). Then I measured every 2″ on either side and made a little pencil mark. It measures about 18×23″ but you can make this any size you want.įirst I painted my piece of MDF white and let it dry completely. I had this piece in my garage left over from something else. So, to make the sign, first you’ll need a piece of wood or MDF.

And the best part? It was almost FREE to make! Can’t beat that! This is actually kind of a two-for-one tutorial today as my sign has two components… the actual sign and then the cute snowflake I made to stick on it! I’ll explain them separately because I think that even though I used it as the “O” in my sign, it would be perfect as an ornament or an embellishment on a wreath too.

The vinyl font is called “paintbrush script”. You can find wood letters at your nearest hobby shop, or if you have a Silhouette machine, you could cut your own from chipboard.
What about this one – an all-time-favourite of mine: I’ve got “Let it snow” to the tune of “Let it go” (with a mishmash of lyrics) bumbling around upstairs. I glued down my raised letters with some Gorilla super glue and then filled in the remaining space with my adhesive vinyl letters.Īre you humming Bing Crosby’s “Let it Snow” or Frozen’s “Let it go”? My favourite decor pieces / wood signs are those that make you hum a tune after reading them, and once I had my words selected, cutting the remainder of the verse on the Silhouette was a breeze.
I painted both boards in white and, once dry, taped off on the diagonal and painted one side in the blue. Besides, what says “Let it snow” more than a combo of icy blue and white? (Okay, maybe I’m channelling Frozen and “Let it go”) Gosh I love sanding! (I’m weird – I own it)Ī plain white sign or blue sign would have been too boring. This was really crappy plywood the kind you get for super-cheap because it’s so rough and splintery.Ībove is the after shot – after a sanding from 80 to 220 grit, all of those splinters (or most of them anyways) were smoothed out. Once I had my words, I cut up some scrap plywood to be just larger than the width of the word (and square) – in this case 9″ / 22.8cm. I have no idea what they spelled out before I received them, so I had to scramble and unscramble them until I came up with a couple of words that I felt were in the spirit of the Season. What do you do with a mishmash of letters that you no longer need/want? You give them to your local (and favourite) blogger! A few disadvantages, but far more advantages than not.Ĭase in point – a friend of ours was getting rid of these wood letters:
