"You Cut Tree Farm" Christmas Sign with Old Sign Stencils
October 17, 2017
You just never know what you are going to find junkin'! Like this $1 clearance frame painted in barn red with star cutout. I think it was a cull from a local shutter business. The frame is 22" x 26".
Here is the makeover!
I painted the frame with two coats of Rustoleum Chalked Paint in Country Gray
.
. 
My next step was to cut a piece of bead board paneling to fit the frame. It's upside down and showing the flat side, not the bead board side.
I brushed on two coats of Rustoleum Light Tint Base Rustoleum Chalked Paint
, mixed to my favorite color Chiffon Cream.

And, I added a single tree from the You Cut Tree Farm stencil to each side, flipping the stencil to have the trees inward facing.
I used Waverly Moss Paint from Walmart for the trees.

I centered the You Cut Tree portion of the stencil on the bead board under the trees.
I used Ceramcoat Acrylic Paint in Black
for this portion. Farm was stenciled with Ceramcoat Acrylic Paint in Walnut Noyer

I used my FolkArt Layering Wood Block
to faux distress the edges of my frame.

The entire frame and bead board center were sealed with Varathane Interior Crystal Clear Water-Based Polyurethane, Satin Finish

Why didn't I stencil the center treetop with a star in Ceramcoat Acrylic Paint in Crocus Yellow
? Because the cutout is the star for the the center tree!

I think this fun sign will be featured on my Christmas covered patio decor.
