Subway Art Beach Sign

Supplies:

– Pine board {mine measures 7 x 18″}
– Vinyl stencil
– Acrylic paint
– Sandpaper
– Foam brush

I then covered it with a couple coats of white acrylic paint when the gray was dry. Let your paint dry well so the vinyl stencil doesn’t peel the paint off when you peel the stencil off.

I then just centered my stencil on the painted board, and smoothed everything out.  Typically I would paint this with acrylic paint {which I normally do} however this go round I was having issues with my black acrylic paint not drying properly and peeling up with the stencil.  So I grabbed a can of flat black spray paint I had on hand and used that to spray the stencil instead, I suggest using acrylics!

Once everything was dry I peeled up my stencil and grabbed a piece of sandpaper and just distressed the sign to give it more of an aged look.  The gray from your first coat of paint with show through.  You can also go over the letters lightly and give them a worn look.
