How can I make shabby chic wood signs?
I would like to make a wood sign with a saying on it like this website http://www.shabbyshacksigns.com. I guess I am stuck with how to get the words on there. Would I use a stencil? Do I sponge it, roll it? My experience in the past is that they bleed. Any help would be appreciated.
I also wanted to add that the sign would be on a small scale with the letters only being about 1/2" wide.
You could use a stencil to get the letters on. There are several sized and varieties of fonts at places like Hobby Lobby and Michael's.
The paint bleeds because there is too much paint on the brush. Stenciling is a dry brush technique and takes some practice. Just do a few trial runs on craft or scrap paper first then when you've mastered the technique, apply it to the actual wood.
If you still have trouble, use a graphite pencil to trace the letters on and then fill them in with a small paint brush.
Have Fun!!
