Family Name Board

I have wanted one of these Family Name boards for years!

 I am way too cheap to buy one though. Finally I figured out how to make one and I'm in love with it!! It was very easy and I will be making more. When I do, I'll take photos so I can make a full tutorial. But until then, here's a short tutorial:

Step 1: Pick out a piece of wood.
Mine was 50 cents at Habitat for Humanity.

Step 2: Paint the board what color you want your letters to be. I think I did 2-3 coats. Let dry completely,
if it's even a little wet, it will mess everything up.

Step 3: Cut your wording out of vinyl.
 I used the program SCAL and my cricut.

Step 4: After smoothing down the vinyl on the piece of wood, I mean really making sure every little piece is stuck down, paint the board a different color. I used 2 coats.

Step 5: Once completely dry, peel vinyl letters off the board.

Step 6: Sand the edges of the board and top.

Step 7: All Done!

HERE are the linky parties I will be joining!
