I've been wanting to try painting words onto a wooden sign. I found this kitchen-themed wall décor at Goodwill and decided it was due for a makeover! I used its dimensions and created the inspirational words I wanted to use.
I bought yellow craft paint and two sizes of a white paint marker.
Since I was upcycling a sign, my first step was to spray paint a primer+white paint so I'd be starting fresh.
Then I painted it yellow.
I'm not sure yet what I want to do with the sides, I'll probably just touch up the black paint.
Then I taped my sign into place.
The next step (which didn't show up in pictures) was to trace over the outline of all the letters with a pen. Then I could see the indentation and traced over that with my fine tip paint marker.
Then I used the larger paint marker to fill in the letters.
You can see imperfections up close, but from a distance, I think it looks great!
I hope everyone has a blessed and happy Easter!
