DIY Christmas Sign

& to all a good night

My new sign this year.

It begins, as all my sign projects do, with

a trip into the garage for a piece of scrap

 wood. We cut off the uneven pieces a bit 

 but didn't straighten it out any more 

than that. It still has a rustic edge.

 Painted it white. 

 Sanded the edges. 

 I found a font I liked and just kept enlarging

a photo of it until I had it large enough for 

my board. Later I did find the font's name. 

It's Boho Script. Note: I always space my

 saying on the board without having to worry

 about the length. I just cut the board when 

I'm done to the proper length. 

 I lay the 3 pieces of copies on the board. 

Then I used carbon paper between the

 paper and board to outline the words.

That's the easiest way to transfer any

lettering. It's the method I use 

on all my signs.

 I lift the paper and carbon a few times

to make sure I got all the lines. Note the

  "g" loop is not complete. Easy fix.. 

Then I use a Sharpie to paint in the letters.

 I will hang this over the bed or give

it as a gift and make another one. 

 All finished and on my Christmas bed.

 Attach hangers to back for hanging as i

did in this post HERE.

 I think this is such a fun scripty font.

If you can't find it you could enlarge the pic

above and use that .

I really get lost in font land...so many 

I've already downloaded for free. 

Let me know if you've made a new sign

for this Christmas. It's addicting, 

especially when they are so easy and

free to make. 

Cheers!
