Farmhouse Signs for One and All
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!

This weeks FREE Farmhouse Sign PNG/SVG/cut file can be found in the Freebie Library. File number is 59 (remember the password is always in the bottom of your weekly email from me). I have also created a video tutorial along with some directions on how I made the double sided wooden table runner. I can’t wait to see your projects!!

Video Tutorial – Farmhouse Sign Wood Table Runner

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.

Video Tutorial – Welcome Mat

Wipe Your Paws

Here are the steps I took to make the Welcome Mat

Step 1 – Open the SVG file in your cutting software (note: if you have the free version of Silhouette studio you will need the DFX files). I kept my size to 12×24 cutting mat.

Step 2 – Prep your mat. Put your freezer paper on the mat wax side down and cut out the design.

Step 3 – Once the design it cut leave it on the mat and weed out the letters. Remember, this is a stencil so you want to take out the areas where you are going to be applying paint.

Step 4 – Next, take your press and seal and your squeegee and apply it to the wax paper. I left it on the roll and use the squeegee to adhere and flatten as I go. Once i had it on I flipped the mat over and removed the mat from the freezer paper/press and seal.

Step 5 – Place the freezer paper\press and seal design on your mat. Position it where you want it to go. I did the paws separately so I placed my design lower on my mat. I then used heat to adhere the freezer paper. I did use a heat press. However, a board under the mat would have helped so that it doesn’t move on you and loosen the freezer paper. Once you have it on the mat where you want it to be. Peel back the press and seal so it will be out of the way of your heat source. I did 315 for a few seconds. Then, move onto the next area. For the centers of your letters you can use push pins or hold while you are painting them. Once everything is pressed down you can move onto painting.

Step 6 – Now take your outdoor acrylic paint and a brush and dab it into the mat. I was not stingy on paint. Make sure you keep your paint close to the area you are working on. I travel and it dropped. So take note…

Step 7 – One you are done painting and with the paint wet pull the freezer paper off. Then i did the paws. I did not heat set them since they were small.

Step 8 – Once your mat is dry i put a spray sealer on it. I had some clear flexiseal and used that.

Step 9 – Place by your entrance way or give as a gift and enjoy!!!!

Welcome Summer Sign Gives Your Porch A Citrus Burst!
Part 2 – This is the reverse side to Hello Spring!

Welcome Summer Sign Gives Your Porch A Citrus Burst! This is part 2 of the reversible porch sign we did earlier. If you missed it i have it linked above for you.

Welcome Summer\Hello Spring is made with a stained common\pine board. Then I used masking vinyl and painted this side. You could also paint this side of your board white or any color of your choosing!! The file is setup for 12″ x 60″. However, size it to the size you need. I ended up with 12″x48″ Have fun with the colors!

This weeks FREE Summer Porch Sign SVG/Cut files can be found in the Freebie Library. File number is 38. I have also created a video tutorial along with some quick directions below on how I made this FUN Welcome Summer Sign. I would love to see the color choices you used!

Welcome Summer Sign Supply List
- Cutting Machine and software
- Welcome Summer (click on the link)
- Masking Vinyl – I use Starmask from 143vinyl.com
- Pine\Common Board – Mine was 12″x48″ – I used the reverse side from Hello spring
- Stain color of Choice – only needed if you are going to stain or if you have not done Hello Spring
- Sand paper or sanding block

- Paint color of choice
- Make-up sponges – get my from the Dollar Tree
- Spray sealer – Seal after you are done painting
- Weeding tools, scissors, cutting knife, transfer tape, etc
Video Tutorial – Let’s make a Summer Porch Sign!

Here are the steps I took to make the Welcome Summer Sign

Step 1 – Prep your board. If you are doing the reverse you should be set to go. However, if you decided you wanted paint vs stain you would do that now.

Step 2 – While everything is drying(if needed). Open the SVG file in your cutting software (note: if you have the free version of Silhouette studio you will need the DFX files). Size the sign according to the board you will be working with. Use your masking vinyl to cut out your design.

Step 3 – Once your stencil is cut weed your vinyl. Remember you ware weeding the parts you will be painting.

Step 4 – Arrange your pieces on your board. Remember that Summer will be down a little more more since Welcome goes at the top. You can make and apply as may citrus slices as you like!

Step 5 – Now to stencil paint your board. Since I stained my board I need white under the everything. So I did to coats of white and then stenciled my citrus slices in my colors. I found I needed to coats of that as well. Pull your stencils mask and clean up your slices.

Step 6 – Now apply Summer and welcome to the sign and repeat the paint process. Again, i needed white under summer. I used a color shifting paint for Summer. That took 4 coats before i felt I had good coverage. Once you have your last layer applied pull your stencil vinyl. Clean up any edges you might have.

Step 6 – Once your sign is completely dry spay it was a clear sealer of choice.

Step 7 – If you so desired you could add strips around the sign to give it an extra touch.

Video Tutorial – USA Round Flag

How to cut larger than your mat on your cutting machine!

Silhouette – Cutting Larger than you mat
Cricut – Cutting larger than you mat

Here are the steps I took to make Sweet Land of Liberty Flag Round

Step 1 – Lets prep our round! Lightly sand the round with the sanding block. Once that is done let us burn it!!! Now, you can use a kitchen torch or a butane torch. You might be able to get away using a high temp heat gun. Make sure you do this in a well ventilated area. You will have smoke and smell. Then run your torch over the circle until you receive the effect you are looking for.

Step 2 – Now load your free file into your cutting software and cut out your stencil material. I have included videos for cutting large than you mat for both Cricut and Silhouette. You do not need to mirror. Also cut out your saying. I have included and offset for it. You can choose to used it or not. Have fun with it!

Step 3 – Weed your stencil mask. Remember this is a mask. So we weed out the parts we want to stain. Once you have your weeding done apply your transfer tape. User your squeegee to make sure you get air bubbles out. Now peel the backing away from the stencil and apply it to your wood round. I did the stripe portion first. Make sure you are follow the grain of the round. Once you have the stencil on peel away your transfer vinyl. Take your time removing it. User your fingers and really make sure your seams are pressed down.

Step 4 – Now lets try the baby wipe staining technique. Mine were a little on the dry side so I needed a little extra water. However, be careful with how much water you use. I had some go under mask. Also, make sure you stain with the grain of the wood. Once you have the desired color pull your stencil material off.

Step 5 – Repeat the same process for the stars. Remember the stars are being laid down on the round because we are staining blue. Use the stripes to line the star area up. To help keep your edges crisp dab around the stars and go from the center out. Once that area is done pull your mask off.

Step 6 – I decided to take some brown and lightly “stain” over it to give it an antique look. This is totally optional! This is your project!!

Step 7 – Let your round dry

Step 8 – Now to add our words:
- Start with weeding vinyl word and offset
- Apply transfer tape
- Peel off vinyl backing from the words
- Now use parchment paper and attach it to the back of the words. Make sure you leave some transfer tape showing to attach it to the offset. Now use this technique to line up your words to the offset. Once you have it where you want. Push down the transfer tape and hinge method to pull the parchment out. Squeegee down your words.
- Pull the vinyl backing from the offset
- Apply your design to your round
- Remove transfer tape
Step 9 –Apply your hanger and you are set to go!

Video Tutorial – Time for the Red White and Blue!

Here are the steps I took to make the Patriotic Tiered Tray

Step 1 – If you are using a sign from the Dollar Tree that has an image on it scrap it off. I found if I got it wet it came off real easy. Once that is done paint the items that need to be white white. On mine I painted the edges of the 6×6 signs white to start with and then painted them red and blue after. It helped cover up the green that i had on mine. After the white is dry paint the other things blue and red. For the scrabble tray I took 4 tumble tower blocks and glued them together to form the tray. I then painted it blue. I painted the bottom (actually top, but it will be flipped over) slat of the mini crate blue and the other end red. I painted the middle of the mini rolling pin red also.

Step 2 – While everything is drying. Open the SVG file in your cutting software (note: if you have the free version of Silhouette studio you will need the DFX files). Size the items according to the supplies you will be working with. Then cut out your vinyl.

Step 3 – Once your adhesive is cut weed your vinyl. For the small detailed items I found that reverse weeding working best. Put your transfer tape on the item and remove what you do not want from there. I have the noted in the video.

Step 4 – Once everything is weeded time to apply the vinyl to our projects. I have things organized and group for you so the America sign with the star the red is all together. So I put the transfer tape on the red portion. Used parchment paper to align everything up I placed it on the blue offset. Then I applied it to the sign. Then I put the white on top.

For Let Freedom Ring I put the transfer tape on the white portion, then used parchment paper to align it up on top of the red and placed. then repeated to put it on the blue. The applied it to the sign.

Continue placing the rest of t the vinyl on your pieced.

Step 5 – For the banner I did the print and cut and printed it on white cardstock and then cut that out on my cutting machine. So easy and a time saver!

Step 6 – Now add your decorative accents. For the rolling pin i tied a piece of star ribbon on the one end. For the books I used a wide burlap patriot ribbon to cover the slats of the crate. The made a messy bow and put that on top with white jute. Have fun and play with this step! Use what you have!!
