Preparation

Stenciling Instructions

We chose to use a one-time use lettering stencil. If you are planning to make several boards, we recommend the re-usable stencil. Detailed instructions

Remove the backing from the lettering stencil and position the lettering stencil in the center of your board. Remove the application

Position the first overlay of A3043 (Snow Kids stencil) to the right of lettering. Apply White to stencil openings. Repeat this procedure with overlays 2-6, using appropriate colors (see chart below). Position the first overlay of A554S (Tree Stencil) to the left of lettering. Apply the appropriate paint colors to the stencil openings. Repeat this procedure with overlay 2, using appropriate color. Stencil another tree to the right of the snow kids from step 2. Position overlay #1 of A3042 (Top Hat Snowman and Lady) beside the tree to the left of lettering. Apply paint to stencil openings using the appropriate colors. Repeat this procedure for overlays 2-6. Accent your board with snowflakes from A291 (Mini Snowflakes). Use White to accent trees and ground around snowmen. Allow 3-4 hours to dry.

Finishing Touches (optional)

When adding accent to trees and ground around snowmen, use Sno-Tex instead of White acrylic paint.

Use pine accent pieces to frame the sign.
