These signs may for any purpose that you thought of. It may be possible that you will give these as presents for your friends, or even that special someone. The reason may also be a project idea as gift for your family. No matter the occasion and season, this is one DIY that will serve as a gift to anyone.
It does not have to be expensive. Secondhand or unused items may become your source of materials. As long as they are still salvageable and usable, you may add these as decorations over your signs.
First off, you need wood. Big or small, it is up to your preference. Its dimensions, as well, are up to you. It does not matter if the sides are chipped and rough to the touch. A few sessions with the sandpaper should smoothen them out. For chipped sides, just trim it out or let it. It can be a part of its charm and design. At least then, you will not have to worry about designing its borders any more.
Next, you cannot have a sign if there is nothing written in it. Get your writing materials and any items you are able to find in the house. Permanent markers will be great to use. However, using brushes might be better. The strokes are more pronounced in brushes. Use acrylic paints as well as these are fast drying inks.
Now that you have your writing materials, you are now ready to put on the words you like on its surface. There are endless possible phrases out there for you to choose. It may be something like an inside joke in or a motto of the family. It may be some phrases you heard or your favorite quote. If you are thinking of giving this as a gift, you may write his or her name and your message.
Once the paint dries, you can now do finishing coat on its surface with mod podge water base sealer or any decoupage glue. It will protect the writings you have done and the designs you made. To DIY it, you can use polyvinyl acetate or PVA glue and mix it with an equal part of water. This mixture does the same job as well.
You can hang it up the wall once it dries. You may use the age old method of hammer and nails, or you can use vinyl decal. Whichever of the two you choose, clean first the wall of any dusts before placing the sign on its surface. The advantage of the vinyl decal or wall stickers over the former is that no holes will be present in both your sign and your wall.
Now, you are ready to step back and admire your work. Sit down on the couch across from it and relax. Making it DIY creates self fulfillment in yourself due to the hard work you did.
