Prepare Board to Paint Fall Welcome Sign
Start with a six foot 1′ x 12″ pine board.
Sand it well then use the Rustic finish in 4 steps method to give it a well worn look before transferring the lettering.
The pattern linked below has each of the elements drawn on it and to paint it just follow the directions of each painting tutorial for that design.
Sunflowers

I taped the pages together in such a way as the letters were 2.5 inches apart when painted but you can space them as you wish.
