Today’s blog I am going to use a wooden shelf I had out in the shed to repurpose it into two cute Valentine’s signs. It only took two cuts in my board outside and the rest I did in my craft room.

Simple BE MINE Farmhouse Sign Tutorial
First, cut your board into two pieces; chose your own size. Mine are 10″ x 15″ and 10″ x 22″.
Give your boards 2 coats of paint. I am using Plaster by Waverly.
To avoid cutting a frame for my sign, I am painting faux frame to my signs. I measured around the edge of the entire board, 1 inch.
Taking Elephant Waverly chalk paint, I painted two coats to the outer part of my lines including the edges.
Once the gray had time to dry, using the same brush I painted the Plaster chalk paint with, I dry brushed the grey part of my sign.
I printed out a saying for both of my signs. BE MINE.
To add the letters to my board I am doing the old school carbon paper to my printout, I colored the back of my lettering, center the wording on my sign pressing hard, I traced over the letters.
I painted my letters with the Elephant chalk paint.
Gave both signs a light sanding.
Wipe down both signs with a damp cloth. That’s it!
