Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Lightly sand the wood sign surface to smooth any rough edges and help paint adhere better.
2. Use painter's tape to outline the edges or create a border if desired.
3. Paint the entire surface with a base color and let it dry completely.
4. If using stencils or templates, position them on the sign and secure with painter's tape.
5. Paint your chosen seasonal message or design onto the sign using contrasting colors.
6. Carefully remove stencils or tape and touch up any areas as needed.
7. Once fully dry, lightly sand edges and painted areas to create a rustic, distressed look.
8. Attach decorative accents like faux greenery or small ornaments using the hot glue gun.
9. Tie a loop of twine or jute rope securely to the back for hanging.
10. Spray the entire sign with clear acrylic sealer to protect it from weather and wear.
11. Allow the sealer to dry completely before hanging your new rustic seasonal sign on your front door.
