My sister told me she loves the wooden signs that say" Always kiss me goodnight" and I would love to make her one for Christmas. I have looked online ...but, I am not sure how to make one. ....what kind of paint,a cheap place to get letter stencils that look old fashioned,how to get the crackle effect...and so on. I lack alot of self confidence when it comes to trying to do any kind of crafts. I know I would love doing it...just afraid of failing.... screwing up. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You and MERRY CHRISTMAS !!

Hi:
For a crackle effect - there is crackle paint medium that you can get at a crafts store. I haven't used this yet, but I think you paint a base color, let that dry, and then paint another color with this medium mixed in - as it dries, the cracks will form. The thicker the application, the bigger the cracked pieces, thinner - smaller, finer cracks. You might also want to use a light glaze over the top layer to highlight the crackle effect.
You might find an example of a sign you might like to emulate, and use that as a starting point for making your own pattern. If you need more help, just ask. Hope this helps.

Capricorn : think of logical way to escape aquarius : imagining weird stuff that could happen . Pisces : Crying because they're scared Aries : would be excited about it and finding ways to survive . Taurus : gather everyone to discuss and find a solution . Gemini : Chatting with everyone lol Leo : trying to show off that theyre the best and they will find how to escape first Virgo : Thinking about what to do , where to sleep , where to pee , finding a clean good place to stay . Libra : just dont knowing what to do , keep thinking and asking questions . Scorpio : analysing the situation . Sagittarius ; making jokes to relax the atmosphere

you can find any lettering on the net and print it out when you do copy and paste it to pain shop stretch it to fill the whole page if your wanting big letters and than find some old wood (perferably from a old barn or something) get your paint from walmart and start designing ...NOTE... You can find pictures to put on your sign to just follow the same plan I told you about on the lettering.

Well... If U live in Australia, check out your local Bunnings store. if you live somewhere else checkout your local painting place or hardware store. they should be able to advise you. as 4 the stencils do some window shopping to find out whats on offer. and remember, it doesn't have to look perfect, it's the thought that counts! Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check with a "MICHAEL'S" or similar craft store.
