Mother's Day is just right around the corner and I love to give my Mother handmade gifts. I recently received some stencils from Royal Design Studios and when I saw my stencils, I knew they would be perfect for what I had in mind for my mom's present this year.

How to Make a Stenciled Garden Wood Sign

Supplies:

Scrap Wood - I used 2x2 wood scraps (7 boards are 15" and 2 boards are 10").
14 - 1 1/4" screws - I predrilled the holes and then put the screws in to make sure the wood did not crack.
White paint
Royal Design Studio Stencil Large Japanese Flower Garden A
Red and orange spray paint
Vinyl that says "Bloom where you are planted"
Tape
Scrap paper

Directions:

Let's get started!

Cut and sand your wood. Line up the 15-inch wood pieces as shown in the picture below. Screw in the two shorter pieces to add stability (this is the back of your sign).

Flip your sign over and paint the wood white. Let dry.

Once it is dry, tape down your Royal Design Studio stencil on the wood. I placed paper around the edges to make sure excess spray paint didn't get anywhere else on the wood.

I want my flower to be red with a pop of orange in the middle. So first I used the orange spray paint and I lightly sprayed around the middle section.

Next I used the red spray paint and lightly sprayed over the rest of the stencil. I lost a bit of the orange so I gave the middle a quick spray of orange in the center again.

Then I carefully removed the stencil and immediately washed it to make sure I wouldn't have a mess later. Let your wood sign dry.

At first I did my vinyl in yellow because I thought it would look really nice with the red and orange. The only problem was the yellow did not show up very well on the white, so I switched to black. My vinyl was created with the Brush Script font (in case you are wondering). Add your vinyl words and you're done!

I think my mom is going to love it!

Do you have any great handmade Mother's Day gift ideas? Please share!

I am so glad I had the opportunity to try out one of Royal Design Studios stencils. I recently met some of the great folks from Royal Design (even took a class) and they were fantastic! I am so excited to try out all of the great techniques I learned.
