Here’s my “how to make an antique sign” tutorial and walk through - no free hand writing or fancy materials needed! 👇 

Based on your sign shape, choose and shape what you want to write on the sign. Print it out - details on doing this below. 

01

Make text stencil

trace each letter on your printed sign with the method I share below!  This is very easy and leaves little room for error. 

02

Trace it out

Use a fine point Sharpie to trace the outer edges of each letter, so you can keep the design as clean as possible. Then fill it in with thicker pen!

03

Outline and Fill

Give the whole sign a good sanding with some medium-grit sandpaper - paint on an antique finish.  Details below!

Add a Antique Finish
