Ready to make your RUSTIC SIGN?

Start by finding a surface that's calling out for some love.  You can sand it, paint it or stain it.

Position your stencil, then tape it down.

If using paste, load up your palette knife with some paste and scrape it through the stencil with long smooth strokes. If using paint, dab or sponge it on, using as little paint as possible, building up the layers slowly.  

When finished, immediately wash all of your tools, including your stencil.
