Stenciling with Vinyl

 I just finished my first painted wooden sign. I'm so pleased with how it turned out!  


Here's how I did it:  A friend of mine distressed the wood she wanted to use for the sign, so that part was already finished.  I used my vinyl cutter to cut the words "Sandy toes and salty kisses".  Instead of removing the extra vinyl from the letters, I removed the letters to make the negative image.

Then I attached the vinyl to the sign and painted over the letters.

I let the paint dry for about an hour, then carefully removed the vinyl.

This makes such a great personal gift.  If you are crafty and want to try your hand at vinyl stenciling, please let me know.  Any vinyl I cut can be weeded with the negative image for stenciling!
