Thank you for sharing this! The second stain step I never would have thought of!! 😊❤️
I’ve done a many signs but never this way..I’m goin to try it this method on my next one…loved it
Thank you for this video. Following these basic steps have been keeping me busy making my own signs for weeks. Everyone loves them.
Thank you Amanda. This was a great tutorial. Love your sense of humor! Keep up the beautiful work!
Thank you, Robin!
This is beautiful!! Can't wait to make it! You do wonderful job on your videos!
Your video is the best tutorial for weathered signs that I’ve seen. Truly helpful especially as this is my first project. Thank you!
Love it, all the steps clearly explained. Thanks for posting this.
I love how this sign turned out and super appreciate your teaching this technique. And I just love how you let us know you have proper ventilation, but then tell us the window may or may not be open and that we will never know 🤣😂. Your a little salty and I love it!
lol thank you so much for the sweet comment!
This is by far the best wood sign video I've found on UA-cam, I can't wait to try it this way. Thank you for making this :)
Thank you very much for the sweet feedback!
@@woodsongaleinteriors7999 You sure are pretty.
I hope you keep posting! I love your stuff and our shared southern accent! 😜 Also... I get bored as well when I’m making Sign after Sign! Usually watch Netflix or listen to some music, but it’s nice to chat with people! ❤️
Best video I've seen. Great step by step through the whole process. Keep it up!
thank you for the sweet feedback!
Wow. How do UA-cam creators not snap or go off every half hour with people like this in the world...jesus christ. The people in her comments cannot be real people. I can’t imagine anyone behaving like this ESPECIALLY when this talented woman so generously shared her entire creative process FOR FREE. Here in Atlanta there are stores that sell these signs for $400 and up and if I asked them a single question about the production they would look at me like an insane person. Most people keep this knowledge to themselves and ignore social media questions to daydream about more and more ways to capitalize on their audiences/trade yet this kind soul used precious minutes of her life to share the wealth and even answer questions for ungrateful people who were apparently raised by wolves and have the audacity to comment about how there is too much ‘chatting’ or some other unsolicited critique of the video or of her as a person. I usually wouldn’t waste my time on a rant comment like this but my blood is boiling. This comment section is the equivalent of selflessly offering food to a starving person with zero means of buying their own only to have that person go out of their way to let you know what they would’ve preferred their free meal to have been- oh and also maybe you should smile and wave the next time you’re feeling charitable because all of that talking like some kind of decent civilized person is just not my style. What the ____ is wrong with people. Anyway, thank you for sharing this, you truly just saved me from spending so SO much money on holiday decor. 💌
Miranda, I have to agree wholeheartedly with you. What is wrong with all these negative people. I do believe it shows a lack of proper upbringing. In my family, we were taught from a very young age ... if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all. Shame on you "negative Nancy's"!!!
Take a breath and buy a period would ya? You have a 20 line sentence!
Beautiful - can’t wait to try this! Thank you for sharing! You are so sweet !
Thank you so much. Wish I had found you sooner. I'm new at this and it was so helpful to me. Enjoyed your video very much. Thumbs up
Exactly what I have been looking for.! Thank you!!
Awesome job! Thanks for all of the detailed tips :)
I've seen your wood sign on the internet and thought how did she do this. Its beautiful and rustic looking. Thanks for sharing.
That's beautiful!
This is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
Looks fantastic!
Thanks for the great video, can't wait for more
love the final look and that you used spray paint!
Stunning!
Thanks so much for sharing...these are the lessons I need! ☺️
So glad I could help
I liked the video and the technique u showed!! Hope you make more crafting content!
I subscribed too 🤩
You need to make more videos! I'm obsessed with this sign!! Making my list of materials to buy now!
Yay! That makes me so happy!
once I get up to 1000 subs, I will be able to stream live on UA-cam so that's my goal! I would rather stream live than film and edit lol!
@@woodsongaleinteriors7999 I can understand that, lol I don't video myself at all! BUT I'd love to see some more videos in the meantime! :)
You're hilarious and you make awesome signs!
Thank you!
This was the most beautiful sign I’ve ever made! Thank you for the technique!
I learned so much! Thank you!
Beautiful!
Ty for sharing I tried and it's awsome ty again.
Loved your video, thanks for sharing...
You're awesome. You're me so much lol keep making videos! "I got a window right here and it's open so it'll be alright" 🤣
lol thank you! I will try to get another video up soon.
Very Cool. Thank You for sharing !
Love this!
came here to learn about destressing wood and ended up falling in love with your accent :-)... great tutorial btw
Thank you!
@@woodsongaleinteriors7999 I hope you will be more tutorials.. You are very good...... And your accent
Thank you so much for this video!!
One trick I tried was using watered down brown or gray shades of acrylic paint in lieu of stain. I wanted to create a similar project but didn't want to buy a big can of staining stuff, since it was a one-time project. It worked surprisingly well. 🙂
I'm glad it worked because I was thinking of doing the same thing! Thanks for sharing 👍
@@kristy137 You're welcome! 🙂
I love it.
Beautiful job! Thanks for sharing your tips!
Love it!
Hi again. I was having a brain meltdown about the stencil 🤪 but it came out well. Forgot to do the last sanding. Going to mix the next one up with green trees
Amanda, I thoroughly enjoyed your video and found your coverage to be spot on! Congrats on making such a good video.
Now, to all you "negative Nancy's" and "Debbie Downers" out there, please consider how hurtful and totally unkind and unnecessary your negativity is. If you do not find a video to your liking, kindly refrain from posting your negativity. Simply stop the video and move on, nobody is making you watch ... Take your negativity and move along. Thank you kindly. 😊
Thank you so much!! If thos video helps just one person make a beautiful sign they love then all the work and hurtful comments are worth it 🥰
@@woodsongaleinteriors7999 aw sweetie I hope you don't take the negatives too seriously. I just figure that I am so very sick of seeing such negativity that I am making it my mission to call these twits out. I for one enjoyed it and have subscribed. ♥️♥️
@@brendaelainewaddell1682 thank you so much
Love it! New subscriber here. Blessings!
More videos! Subscribed after watching this video
Cool!
Hi thank you so much for this video!! I have been making signs for about a year but all of a sudden this week I have been having the worst luck with everything possible going wrong with my signs I just want to give up! This video is making me want to keep trying! I have some questions about spray painting and vinyl peeling up paint and even my stain! Is there a way I can message you to see if you have any suggestions or do I just comment on here! Thank you for taking the time to read this!
muchas gracias por compartir
This is great! I have never seen a paint brush like that. Where did you get it? Thank you for sharing your techniques, can't wait to try it out!
Thank you for watching Maura! The brush I am using in the video is an Annie Sloan Chalk Paint brush :) you can get them online or check their website to see if there are any Annie Sloan sellers in your area.
Awesome video technique presentation. Nice work, what software do you use for your letterring?...
Where did you get that big brush you put the white on with? Sign looks great!
I have had trouble getting my stencil to stick to stain. Wonder if you do?
how the heck do you get the stencil off in one piece ? its crazy maybe a tutorial on taking it off and applying to the board if you have any secrets.
Great work. What is the name of your brush you used?
Thank you love it
Hi Amanda! This is so cool! Do you frame it or leave as is? Lots of love from sunny South Africa!
Hey! For this particular sign I did not frame 😊.
Hey thanks for the video! Quick question though, can you show how you placed the stencil? Ive never seen anyone place painters tape down on the bottom like that. Did you just remove it as you laid it down? Im assuming it was for tension? Also what about framing? How would i go about doing that?
I have a tutorial for framing on my website.. I will add more tutorials later! woodsongaleinteriors.com/category/sign-makers/
Also, I used the "hinge method" to lay my stencil. Look it up on youtube! its super simple and makes laying your stencil stress free!
Hi i really enjoyed your Tutorial. Would love some wooden signs for our Garden. What printer do you use? This year has been terrible with Covid. I hope you and your family ard well. What material is your Stencil made of?? J see that you are unable to reuse the Stencil. We bought one of these with the Red Truck and Tree in the back, it says our surname and i wanted the year we were married. Merry Christmas to you all. Love from a Wife. Mum and Nana x
So you did make your own stencils with the machine- I see it at Walmart for $275. Is it easy to use? How did you figure out the stencil vinyl material. It's so new to me but want to try this! Love your sign!!
Thank you. I used the silhouette cameo 3 and I learned everything from UA-cam and Facebook support groups for the cameo!
Hi Amanda,
Do you know if this stencil is still available? I’ve looked and can’t find it. Super cute and you did a great job!
Thank you,
Johanna
Yes, just bought it yesterday. It was hard to find but found it when I searched "Christmas Tree Farm SVG" on Etsy.
I just wondered if the spray paint you used would be suitable for an outdoor sign? Or would you varnish after for outdoor use? Thanks so much! Xx
Spray paint is fine outside of you put plenty of sealer for outdoors on it :)
I love this. Did you create that stencil or is that somewhere online where I can purchase it?
Cari Verschueren
She said she ordered it on Etsy.
Great video! How long do you wait for the stencil to dry before you sand over it? Is it dried completely? I've never distressed with the stencil on, but I'm going to try!
Hey Tammy! I did wait for the stencil to dry before distressing. Chalk type paint dries fast.. so it was only a few minutes. If you can run your finger over the paint and not get any residue on your finger you are good to distress! Great question!
👍🏼
Can you use regular permanent vinyl that i normally use to make stencils or do i need the stencil vinyl?
You can use 631 but I would not recommend using 651.
Hi Amanda. Loved the tutorial. What brand on chalk paint do you use?
I use Dixie Belle Chalk Paint
Amanda Woodson Thank you!!
Hi! Do you use a top coat to seal or finish the piece once you’re all done?
Yes! I use rustoleum matte sealer on all my indoor signs once completed.
How do you make sure the stencil doesn’t rip off any paint when you take the stencil off the board????
Using this method, it's expected to have some paint lift with the stencil. It adds a very natural looking distressing. The paint lifting with the stencil is what everyone has loved about this sign. Hope this helps!
🤗
Did you use your cutter for that template? What software? Thanks
Thank you for commenting! I use the silhouette cameo with their software program.
oracal 631 doesn't peel up paint
Yes, I use Oracle 631 everyday but for this particular look, I wanted the paint to peel up with the stencil :)
what is the name of the bottle you get off of amazon for your paints ?
They are called FIFO bottles. Stands for "first in first out"
@@woodsongaleinteriors7999 thank you for the quick reply, you're awesome ! Just clicked on "follow" on instagram :P
What do I do if a stencil "bled" underneath. It does not have the sharp crisp lines. How do I distress my sign with it having out of the lines lettering and make it still look good?
Hey Stacy, I am sorry I am just now seeing this! Bleeding can be avoided for sure. What I normally do to avoid bleeding is, make sure your work piece is sanded smooth. After I place my stencil I use a clear sealant spray such as rustoleum clear matte spray and spray it all over the stencil. The clear spray seals little cracks. after it is dry, go in with your desired color. 9 times out of 10 works for me! I will have an occasional bleed but if that happens I usually take my xatco knife and scrape the bleed away.
Where can I get that Stencil? It's just what I'm looking for
I found this stencil on Esty. I am unsure of the shop I purchased from, but if you search for christmas tree farm svg it should pop up.
Thank you for your quick reply. I'm going to start looking right now. I LOVE YOURS!
@@alisonnadell6553 thank you so much!
Do you varnish your pieces?
Hey! I do seal them with a clear matte sealer (water based).
where did you find the stencil?
I purchased off of Etsy. I don't think this design is avaible from the same seller as the one I bought from, but if you search "mistletoe farm Christmas trees svg" you may can find it.
Where is the stencil from?
I bought this file off of Etsy but the particular shop doesn't have this file anymore I don't think. But I'm sure if you search for middle how farm svg you can find it or some thing similar.
Can this go outside?
How can I get that stencil?
You can search "christmas tree svg" on etsy and find a few different ones 😊
My adventure with woodworking started with Woodglut.
I will try to do it with Woodglut plans.
Hope you feel better, Colds are a pain. Take some Vitamin C
It's your lungs not ours lol
This could have been explained in like half the time. Thanks anyways.
k thanks. ✌
The finished product came out beautiful...however....wayyyy too long! Had to fast forward a few times!!
I agree it's too long, but this was my first ever video and it wasn't even planned. I'll know a little more next time.
@@woodsongaleinteriors7999 I disagree, I think you did a great job, and it's not too long.
@@myst93 thank you very much 💕
Do your edges first !!
It's so dark in there. Too much chatting. Lot of scenes could be cut out/sped up. But you will get better with time. Some videos show painting the board black underneath before using chalk paint on top - yours show using a stain. Interesting. Is there another way to make the words without using Silhoutte Cameo or this Cricut? Not everyone can afford those machines. Besides, It'd be more authentic if everything was handwritten and drawn yourself (that's what I'm teaching myself to do.)
Wow. How do UA-cam creators not snap or go off every half hour with people like this in the world...jesus christ. The people in her comments cannot be real people.

Your finished product is great but the video needs to be put together better way to much talking
