I saw the sign on Pinterest originally, and the pin linked back here. It appears the original sign was painted on a 1/2" thick pine board, with some distressing.
I will be making my sign on 1/2" plywood, and using vinyl lettering instead. But, I think the end result will be roughly the same.
I used my handy, dandy Silhouette cutter and cut out all of the lettering. Unlike my last project, I did all the words separately in order to not waste so much vinyl. This lettering was going to be large enough to piece together with reasonable accuracy.
First, I placed the silver lettering for Rudolph.
Then, I added the big red circle for the O in Rudolph.
Here it is about halfway through. There was lots of measuring involved in this sign, so it took a lot longer to finish!
And, here it is all finished! I still have to complete the one for my Mom, but I am pretty stoked to have a new Christmas decoration and it is only January! ;)
