Here's How

Decide what size you would like your sign to be. Pictured signs are roughly 1/2” x 1’ x 5’ and we used 1/2” x 4”x 8’ pine.
Cut boards to the chosen length and glue them together to the desired height (and thickness if the wood was actually ½ depth). Hold together using pipe clamps.
Once completely dry, sand or scrape off excess glue and sand rough edges.
Paint the main area of the sign and allow to dry completely before the next step. For the white sign we used BeautiTone White Dew FD065-0 for the body and Caitlyn A13-5-1418-0 for the saying. For the dark rich blue sign we used BeautiTone Dark Sky Preserves NPC10-3 for the body and White Dew FD065-0 for the saying.
Print your desired sayings on paper in the font of your choice and then use carbon transfer or graphite paper to trace their outlines onto your sign.
Use paint and an artist brush to finish your sayings.
Once dried, sand to achieve a rustic farmhouse look.
