Walmart Wooden Sign Makeover

I am a sucker for plain wooden signs of any kind. Literally, there is some kind of magnetic pull that draws me in, and I think I have to buy them all! LOL

Well, Walmart had some of the CUTEST wooden signs the other day, so of course I had to grab a few up!

Today, I am sharing one of them with you. It turned out so cute, but it was super easy to do. That is my kinda project!

Here is what I used for this fun project (plus a black sharpie and some green paint that is not pictured- any green will do!):

This is such a pretty sign! I knew it could be gorgeous with a little work.

I grabbed my kilz dark wax from Walmart that I have been using as stain lately! It worked great on this project.

I rubbed it all over my wood sign and let it set about 30 seconds.

Once I had it on there good, I went ahead and rubbed it off with an old rag.

Once it was wiped really well, I took my black sharpie and colored in the words “fresh cut”.

Then, I simply painted the flowers and leaves!

After painting the flowers, I went ahead and went over the word FLOWERS with some mustard colored paint for a little extra color.

After all of the paint dried, I took my sanding block and distressed the sign!

Then….DONE!

What do you think?? I think it turned out SO cute!!!

Be sure to PIN FOR LATER!
