Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

A board tray you can use for Santa’s cookies on Christmas Eve or adding a bit of farmhouse holiday decor charm to your kitchen. This tutorial will show you a reverse stencil method for a wood board signage. Three paint colors will be layered onto the board. Usually the reverse stencil method works best with just two layers of paint. One color for the base and the second color for the lettering/design. For this project three colors were used so that the SVG design would look like a vintage “label”. Basic knowledge of a cutting machine and how to weed for a decal is required.

Step 1:

Gather all supplies and review instructions before beginning.

Step 2:

Lightly paint board using the gray paint. Allow to dry.

Step 3:

Bring North Pole SVG design into your cutting machine program’s design board. Cut design and resize if needed to fit the center area of your board. Keep in mind the placement of your handles. Design for this project was resized to 6.5”x 8”.

Step 4:

Prepare your vinyl onto mat. Cut design onto vinyl. Weed vinyl for a decal. Apply transfer tape.

Step 5:

Trim all sides of decal close to design. Align and center position onto board. Pencil outline all around edges making a box.

Step 6:

Place frog tape around penciled drawn box. Lightly paint using red color inside of taped area. Remove tape when dry.

Step 7:

Remove the adhesive backing from weeded design vinyl. Center and place in red painted area. Finger press down to secure. Push out any and all air bubbles. Remove transfer tape.

Step 8:

Using white paint color. Paint over decal and cover board. Allow to dry. Carefully remove decal using a pick tool. Sand areas to give the board a distressed look.

Step 9:

Spray with acrylic coating/glaze to seal in paints. Allow to dry. Attach door handles to each side of board. And you are done! Great job!

*Do not place food directly onto board.
