Laundry Sign

I've been looking all over for a vertical laundry sign to put between the windows in my laundry room.  Finally I realized I could easily make my own stencil using my Stampin' Up! alphabet framelits dies and make my own sign.

 First I found a piece of scrap wood just the right size and painted it a flat black.

While the paint was drying, I used my Big Shot and cut out
 L A U N D R Y from a piece of heavy cardstock.

Stampin' Up! makes awesome products that can be used for much more than papercrafts.

 After the paint completely dried I placed the stencil on the painted board and using white paint, I stenciled it.

 I like to antique my painted signs a little, so using a fine sandpaper, I sanded off some of the paint on the edges and corners to make it look a bit older.  After that I sealed the sign with a spray sealer.

And this is how the finished project looks.  Perfect!
