And by cheated i mean that i pulled out my silhouette machine and had it do my hand lettering for me.

Do people use vinyl letters to make signs.

I created lettering on my computer and cut them out in my silhouette cameo. This would enable you to make 2 signs with 1 vinyl cut out. You can get access to the how to make vinyl decals printable at the end of the post. I couldn t fit them all on one mat so i had to make two separate sheets.

Vinyl lettering includes lettering numbering or shapes that are individually cut out from a sheet of solid colored 2 mil vinyl and then pre spaced and placed onto pre masked transfer tape the number of transfer tape sheets used will depend on the size of your vinyl lettering and amount of colors used. I wrote down every single step on how to make the vinyl decals in great detail. My piece of wood measured 4 h x 5 5 w and i made my letters approximately 3 5 w x 4 5 h. Once cut out i removed the vinyl letters which left behind a stencil for me to paint in.

Apply the vinyl stencil to your wood sign. I just got my silhouette yesterday i look. Once it s all in place you can begin to remove the transfer tape being gentle to make sure the vinyl adheres to the wood. The fabric had somewhat of a vinyl feel to it similar to oilcloth fabric if you re familiar with that so maybe it s the same thing as chalkboard vinyl.

When using the outline of the letters as a stencil as in the welcome sign is there a way that you could use the letters to make another sign instead of just weeding them out. I ended up using chalkboard fabric which i didn t even know existed until then and it worked well. You can see how i do that in this post here diy faith hope and love sign. So i m going to share my little how to make vinyl decals guide with you.

I really wanted a beautiful sign of my own but realizing the whole hand lettering thing probably wasn t going to happen for me i did what any sensible blogger would do. Line up your vinyl on your wood sign and use a scraper tool to apply the vinyl to the wood. It was so helpful that i couldn t keep my step by step directions to myself. Sorry in advance if you ve already answered this question.

This time i got smart. Then apply the transfer tape with vinyl letters attached to the wood according to your measurements. Here are some great people and places to target and some ideas about how they can absolutely benefit from your vinyl cutting abilities. Continue applying the vinyl until you have finished your sign.
