Today I'm going to show you how to make your own back of the chair signs for a wedding. These were made for my sisters wedding which was July 3rd so it has an American theme. But that can be easily changed to what you are going for. Why spend $40 bucks on something you can easily make, you don't even have to have a crafty bone in your body! So hope you dig it!
Step One:
Gather your supplies! A quick run to your local craft store is all you need. My go-to is Michael's because it's cheap and right down the street from me, hehe!
Supplies
- Stain an a rag (I use old t-shirts)
- Red, white, and blue paint and small brushes
- Glue (Glue gun or wood glue)
- Garbage bags
- Wooden hearts (You can by a wood sign in the wood section at the store. They have different designs too and come with string already put on.)
- Wooden letters
- Star Stencil
Step Two:
Lay out a few garbage bags on the surface you'll be working on so you don't get stain or paint on your table. Then open your stain of choice and still it, grab a rag and proceed to wipe it on the wooden sign or even the letters if you choose. I put a lot on to make it darker. Wait till it is completely dry before continuing. I waited a full day.
Step Three:
Get your glue of choice and in the center of your wood sign and place the letters on as neatly as you can, then let that dry. Next grab your star stencil and a small brush. Paint different color stars all around. Be careful with painting in the stencil and don't use a sponge, it will look smudgy and paint with seep under it into the crevices of the wood so use a small brush to outline it first the fill it in.
Ignore those sponges! Haha!
Let dry and your all set! Play around with different ideas, I'm sure whatever you decide will turn out great!
Love always,
