It’s that holiday season where we are coming up on Thanksgiving and decorating for Christmas. This week I have designed Farmhouse Signs that can be use all year long. I made the cool wooden table runner. One side is Farmhouse Sign and the other is Farmhouse Christmas. So you can easily flip back and forth.
In this weeks blog I am showing you how to create your own double sided wooden table runner. I used a board, paint and vinyl. So it was fairly quick and easy to do. This is a bundle of sayings from me to you. You can also just use a word, re-arrange the designs, etc. Many options. As you scroll through the blog you will see some other pictures of options! Enjoy!

Here are the steps I took to make the Farmhouse Signs Wooden Table Runner
Step 1 – Open the file in your favorite cutting software. Cut vinyl to the size you need for your board. I was frugal and split the design so it fit on my vinyl 12″. I check my vinyl to make sure I have a good cut before ejecting it out of my machine.
Step 2 – Paint your board. I use a baby wipe and a dark grey. I used what I had and the dark grey was a chalk paint. When used the baby wipe I needed to add water so it “stain” the board. I love this technique. It is fast and dries quickly. Make sure you stain both sides.
Step 3 – Next, take your chip brush and your top color and paint over your stain. You want more of a long long streaks to give it a distressed look.
Step 4 – I then took the dark grey again and used chip brush (you could also use a piece of paper towel) and do the edges of the board. I then took a rag or paper towel to wipe it more to give it a distressed looked. I show this in the video. I also used a liner brush to draw a line down the middle of the board to make it look like 2 boards. Again, I used the rag to rub the line to give it a distressed look.
Step 5 – While the board is drying weed your vinyl.
Step 6 – Once you have it weeded use your transfer tape to apply the vinyl to the board. Make sure you burnish it well. If you watch the video i show how i used my squeegee to remove the transfer tape from the vinyl if it pulls up.
Step 7 – Repeat the process for the other side.
Step 8 – Enjoy your table runner. I placed it on tope of another runner to give it that extra look.

Heat Transfer Vinyl colors of your choice I used 4 different types
Shirt
Heat press or source
Weeding tools, scissors
Heat transfer image – I used an old one that I had – I had one that was all white
Plastic razor blade or old gift card
Cup
Parchment paper
Video Tutorial – Cancer Survivor with Ribbon
Here are the steps I took to make the shirt
Step 1 – Open the file in your favorite cutting software. Cut vinyl to the size you need for your shirt. Now if you are doing heat transfer vinyl remember to mirror your image. I actually like to flip my image before I send to cut. This way I don’t have to worry about forgetting to mirror or the software moving it on me. It has saved me vinyl.
Also, remember shiny or “pretty” side down on your mat.
I also did 4 vinyl options.
Step 2 – Once you have everything cut weed your vinyl.
Step 3 – Heat your press to the proper heat setting for your vinyl.
Step 4 – Prepare your vinyl I like to layer everything together prior to pressing. I organize them on how I would put them on the shirt. I did the ribbon first, then the word Survivor, then the word part about and below. the the final top and bottom layer.
Once I have everything layered I fold in half to find the center.
Step 5 – Lets make our confetti sprinkles. Take your old heat transfer and your plastic razor blade. I then scrap the decal off. I then placed the pieces in a cup. Once everything scrapped off you want to take your scissors and start cutting (watch the video for visual). I found that turning the cup to the side I could cut up more pieces. I cut all the pieces as small as I could get them. Remember…you want it to be sprinkle sizes
Step 6 – Next take the shirt and fold in half and give it a quick press. This helps you find the center seam and takes any moisture out.
Step 7 – Now lay your ribbon on the shirt. Remember to use the fold you made earlier to lay that on the fold you made in the shirt. HINT!!!!! You only want to press long enough to get the transfer sheet to release. So 2 to 3 seconds max. The reason is HTV shrinks. Too much heat will make it hard for the next layers to line up. Remove the transfer sheet.
Next the lay the survivor word down. Line that up on the center and in the ribbon. Only press for 2 to 3 seconds max. Remove the transfer sheet.
Now do the word section about and below survivor.
Then finally the top and bottom words.
Step 8 – Once all the layers are on do another press. Because I will do be sprinkles I did not do full time. Just abut 5 to 7 seconds.
Step 9 – Now for the sprinkles. I sprinkled the confetti all over the shirt. Some just like to frame, however, I wanted the party feel. Lay your parchment paper on top and press at the time and time of the heat transfer design.

Step 1 – Open the file in your favorite cutting software. Cut vinyl to the size you need for your project. I did 6×6 for a 4T and 24 month and then 5×5 for the 12 month. Now if you are doing heat transfer vinyl remember to mirror your image. I actually like to flip my image before I send to cut. This way I don’t have to worry about forgetting to mirror or the software moving it on me. It has saved me vinyl.
Also, remember shiny or “pretty” side down on your mat.
Step 2 – Once you have everything cut weed your vinyl.
Step 3 – Heat your press to the proper heat setting for your vinyl.
Step 4 – Prepare your vinyl There are quite a few layers. I like to layer everything together prior to pressing. I organize them on how I would put them on the shirt. So the black base of the pumpkin first, then the orange, eyes, stem, nose, highlights, eye lines and mouth. Now remember you can do some items at the same time to press. You just need to make sure that the transfer sheets do not touch.
Once I have everything layered I fold in half to find the center. For the shirt I wanted Cutest Pumpkin words center under. So I cut them off and moved them.
Step 5 – Once the press is at temp place your pressing pillow down. The reason for the pressing pillow is the seams of the shirt. The pillow will help give you even presses and pressure on the shirt.
Step 6 – Next take the shirt and fold in half and give it a quick press. This helps you find the center seam and takes any moisture out. Then lay it on the pillow. I actually did my reverse so I could see it better.
Step 7 – Now lay your black piece down on the shirt. Use the center seam from the fold you did and line that up on the fold you did. You want to go about 1″ down on a kids shirt. Also, place the Cutest Pumpkin words down as well. Now you are going to press. HINT!!!!! You only want to press long enough to get the transfer sheet to release. So 2 to 3 seconds max. The reason is HTV shrinks. Too much heat will make it hard for the next layers to line up. Remove the transfer sheet. Remove transfer sheets.
Next lay your orange down on the black back and again, only press for 2 to 3 seconds max. Remove the transfer sheet.
Next do the eyes. I also did the stem since the transfer sheet didn’t touch. Press, 2 to 3 seconds. Remove transfer sheets.
Then do the highlights and nose. Press 2 to 3 seconds. Remove transfer sheets.
Then eye lines and mouth. Press 2 to 3 seconds. Remove transfer sheets.
Step 8 – Once all the layers are on do one final press for the full recommended time of your HTV. You want to see fibers in the HTV.
Step 9 – Put the shirts on the punkins and go ohhh!!

Florals – I picked up 2 picks from the Dollar Tree
Weeding tools, scissors, cutting knife, transfer tape, squeegee, etc
Glue Gun
Painters tape
Floral Wire or wire tire
Video Tutorial – Resting Witch Face Sign
Here are the steps I took to make my sign
Step 1 – Take a metal scrapper and scrape off the glitter. Then take a 60 grit sanding block and sand the sign. Next take the painters tape and cover the top piece of the banner.
Step 2 – Paint the sign. Since I was using white it took 3 coats. Give it dry time between coats. You can also use a heat gun to speed up the dry time. If you get paint on the edges you can use baby wipes to clean your edges up.
Step 3 – Open the file in your favorite cutting software. Cut vinyl to the size you need for your project. Weed your vinyl between your paint coats
Step 4 – Once the sign is dry take the brown paint and a liner brush and paint\draw thin lines across the sign to look like wood. I had a metal ruler, you could use a ruler, wood, etc. Once you have that done take a brush, make up sponge or rag and go around the edges of the sign. You can see the technique I used in the video. Then take the rag and blend to look distressed. Especially around the lines to give it that distressed look.
Step 5 – Using the same rag stain paint the top piece of wood. If you have some paint or something on the edge of your sign you can also use the rag to cover the edges.
Step 6 – Now its time to apply the vinyl. Take your transfer tape and apply it to the word base. Then using your squeegee apply it to your sign. Make sure you leave room at the tope for a bow and some florals.
Next take the witch vinyl and the parchment paper and put the witch on the parchment paper. Find your placement. Attach the top part of the transfer tape down making a hinge. Then lift up the hinge to remove the parchment paper and then apply the vinyl down.
Next take the broom bristles and the broom stick and align them up together with your transfer tape and parchment if needed. Apply the full broom to the sign. Watch your spacing to get it on the letter F.
Next apply the witch hat. You can hang it on the R or the g in Resting. Then apply the hat band and then the buckle.
Step 7 – Time to make the bow. Since this is a smaller sign we will make a smaller bow. I took 3 rolls of ribbon and cut 8″ to 9″ lengths. I cut 2 of each. Then take the first strip and fold over ⅔ of it in a loop. Repeat this for all 6 loops. It should look like a floral bouquet. Take the floral wire or wire tie and tie the bow off. Now fluff and pull the ends out to form a bow. Trim the ends in dove tail or angles. Check out the video for the tutorial on the bow.
Step 8 – Take some floral berries and attach it to the top of the sign with hot glue gun. Then glue the bow to the tope of the sign. Fluff and arrange.
