Printable Signs

Today I want to show you how to make a sign that has the clean look of vinyl lettering without actually using any vinyl.  Printing the quote onto photo paper is the key to getting nice true colors.

The elements and paper that I used are from free digital scrapbooking kits.  Shabby Princess has some fun free kits you might like or just run a search for free scrapbooking kits.  You can design your own sign using Microsoft Publisher, Photoshop, or another similar program.

 Directions:

• Cut a board that measures 3 1/2" x 6".  The print is 3" x 5 1/2".
• Use an electric sander to sand the edges of the board to give it the chunky look.
• Paint the board and then sand the edges to distress them.
• Print the quote onto photo paper, trim if needed, and Mod Podge it onto the board.  Directions here.
• Drill two small holes, add the wire and curl the ends.
• Tie on a raffia bow.

For Personal Use Only(The scrapbook paper and elements used in these prints came from free kits from various designers.) Will you do me one favor?  If you download or copy either of these prints, please click on the box at the bottom of the post that says 'going on my list of things to make'.  This will help me to keep track of what you like for future printables.  Thanks!

Be creative. 

Make a print with a name on it, a favorite quote, or a scripture.  Take a photo and add a quote or important date to it for special occasions like a birthday, baptism, or wedding.  Use pictures from a favorite children's book or from a cereal box.  Prints are everywhere.  Involve your kids. My daughter made one with a My Little Pony print from the front of a fruit snack box.My son made a fun 2x4 block with a Lightning McQueen print on it from wrapping paper.
