Mercantile Signage

I wanted to add a bit of signage near our pantry….

not because we couldn’t find the food in the pantry
but just for pretty

Here is the sign I used:

I started off by spraying it cream for a new background

and then

printing out the word MERCANTILE (just from word)
in outline (so as not to waste ink on the fill within each letter)

I

Put that on the dried painted board and used a ballpoint pen to transfer the outline of the letters

Filled in the letters with black paint

 

and then – the scary but wonderful part (all that painting work – you don’t want it ruined)

scruffed it up by sanding lightly across the whole thing

 

Hang outside the pantry and enjoy
