Wood saying signs are one of the most popular types of country crafts right now. Wood saying signs are essentially a piece of wood with lettering on them. They may not sound that exciting but due to the fact that they can be personalized to anyone, they have great appeal. To make this country crafts all that you need to do is find or cut a piece of wood to the appropriate length and width (most people find that a longer, thin piece works best). Then paint the piece one uniform color. Select another color that you will use in either a vinyl letter or in a paint to print the words onto the wood piece. You can either pay to have a vinyl saying made or you can write the words on the wood with a paint brush. Once the paint is dry or the vinyl attached, use a clear coat spray to protect the plaque from scratches. Allow to dry. To distress the sign, simply take some sand paper and rub along the edges of the wood. Remember that inconsistency in the distressing process is a good thing. Don’t worry if the wood is not completely uniform, the uniqueness adds to the country feel.
