We were recently flipping through a copy of the April 2022 Country Living magazine and ran across a section (starting on page 80) showing off antique rustic farmhouse looking signs. They were selling for up to $500!! 😲 In this tutorial, we are showing how you can paint a very similar wood sign for just a fraction of the cost!

This also inspired a brand NEW collection of stencils for us. Shop our Rustic Farmhouse Word Stencils here: https://studior12.com/collections/rus...

Catch us LIVE on Tuesday at 12pm eastern for a Q&A with Patty and Kari G!

✔️Subscribe and click the bell to be notified when we post more videos about other DIY ideas and crafting projects! Stencils make wood signs and clocks easy to craft. Great for home decor and gifts, as well as great sellers for craft shows. Use the Dome stencil brushes and learn the loading technique will prevent bleeding under stencil edges. Once you've caught onto this painting technique your stenciled projects will be a snap!
