Crafting printables are PDF files designed for decorating and crafting. They come in various styles and themes, making it easy to find one that fits your home’s aesthetic. For this project, we’ll use a full-size printable to create a stunning DIY sign.
How to Make a DIY Sign with a Free Printable (So Easy!)
You can use this tutorial for any printable, which makes it so easy to customize for the season, holiday, or even everyday home decor!
Supplies You’ll Need
- 8×10 canvas
- 8×10 thin piece of wood (available at craft stores)
- 4 paint sticks
- Mod Podge
- Waverly Antique Wax (or watered-down brown paint)
- E6000 glue and hot glue gun
- Scissors
- Free printable design
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Attach the Printable to the Wood
Apply a layer of Mod Podge to the wood piece and carefully place your printable on top. Smooth out any bubbles and let it dry completely.
2. Mount the Wood onto the Canvas
Use E6000 glue for a strong hold and hot glue for a quick set to attach the wood piece to the center of the canvas. This gave me that “chunky” sign look I was going for with this.
3. Create the Frame
Measure and cut the paint sticks to fit around the edges of the canvas. Stain them using Waverly Antique Wax or watered-down brown paint for a rustic finish. Once dry, attach them around the canvas using E6000 and hot glue.
4. Seal the Printable
Apply a final coat of Mod Podge over the printable to seal and protect it. Let it dry completely before displaying your new sign.
