Coffee and Bikes




Today since I wasn't able to paint still I made a sign using a board that was already painted. This board just needed sanded and the coffee cup and the bike was done with a paint pen. I was able to use the paint in the house so I could get that part of the painting project done.

To make this project you will need
*a piece of wood cut to the size you want to make your sign mine is Approximately 22.25” x 11.5”

*sand paper

*computer and printer to print your coffee cup and bike on paper

*carbon paper

*paint pen in color of choice


First thing you will need to is paint your board if it isn't already painted like mine was once that paint is dry sand it a bit to give a distressed look. You will then need to find clip art of coffee cup and bike and print them.

cut our around the shape and put it on your carbon paper and cut around it as well. I used this smudge resistant carbon paper.



decide where on your board you want image and trace





you will now need your paint pen you will need to pump/press it on a piece of paper to get the paint flowing once your paint is coming out you can paint on your image.



lightly sand your board again this will help smooth out your paint edges and give the image a distressed look. Last step is to attatch your how you will hang your sign I use these saw tooth hangers and put one on each end of the backside of the board.



I still don't where I am going to hang this or if I am going to put it in my shop the wall where I would put it where this coffee house sign is the same is painted the same color.
