DIY Grow Garden Sign

It is that time of the year, we are able to get out and plant flowers and play in our yards. I have been doing some outdoor decorating and really wanted a little sign to hang off my old chair I plant in. So I decided I needed to make one! Follow along and make your own DIY grow garden sign!

Supplies:

Piece of scrap wood- I had this on hand

Letter Stencils- Mine came from Walmart

Acrylic Paint- Black

Chalk Paint- White

Wire- for hanger

First Step; paint your board in the black acrylic paint or black chalk whichever you prefer. Once the black is dry, paint it with the white chalk paint, but don’t fully cover the black. Let dry.

Second; use your stencils and line them up and trace them out with a pencil.

Third Step; I took a small paint brush and filled in my letters with the black acrylic paint. You could also use a black paint pen for this part. When stenciling, make sure you fill in the whole letter, don’t leave the stencil lines. This process take a bit, but it is so worth it. I have seen others use a sharpie to do this, which would take less time.

Finally, I drilled a couple holes in the top and added some wire, I wrapped the wire around a pencil to make it curl. I took it outside and added a nice clear coat to it to protect it from the elements. I am also totally ok if it gets a little weathered because I like that look.
