Maine Signs

 

I like to have a variety of things to sell at my craft shows, and have found that stenciled signs, especially anything with Maine on them like these, are great sellers.

I usually use wood scraps I find in our workshop, but I came across these pallet planks at Walmart that work perfectly.

I prefer the whitewashed pallet plank,

but have made a few signs using the darker Barnwood Pallet Plank.

The LOVE sign is a single, horizontal stencil, which made it quick and easy to do.

But I couldn't stop at that and combined a square stencil with the LOVE stencil to make the HOME sign.

Notice the silicone mat under the plank. I use that for a lot of projects I don't want to slip or move when I'm working on them.

I usually use painter's tape to keep the edges of the stencil secure while I work. But of course I couldn't find it, so I dug into my desk and found sticky notes! 

I have several other stencils I want to make signs with, so check back often!
