I wanted to make something for family and friends that wouldn’t break the bank this year. I decided to make some family name signs; a personalized hand-made gift, just perfect.
I bought a 24” x 48” piece of poplar and had the grumpy man at HD cut it for me. I am able to make 6 signs with the one piece. I chose poplar because it’s lightweight and smooth.
I gave each piece a couple of coats of a creamy white BM paint that I got for free from the recycle centre. I distressed all of the edges, cut out the vinyl and attached it.
So far I’ve made two, with 4 more to go. (Lainey, look no further or you will spoil your surprise)
By the time I purchased the vinyl and the wood, each sign cost me about $2.

ReplyDeleteHey Mel. Did you use a Cricut on these?
