I built a full size headboard 54″ high and 59″ wide. I used 2×6″ boards on the sides and 2×4’s on the top and underneath to support the particle board I placed in the center to adhere the boards to.
I started out placing longer boards around the frame. Then staggard the boards inside cutting them as I went to fit the frame. I adhered the front boards with rustic nails along the outside and center. I then screwed through the back particle board into the wood to secure the wood in all the other areas.This sign I made is 3’wide x 2’high.I used 2″ strips of wood to keep the wood in place.I then sanded and stained the wood.I followed the same instructions as above but in a smaller scale.I printed a large S to trace and then painted it. I like to use a mixture of freehand and stencils when making my sings. I usually use chalkboard paint, chalkboard paint pens and I top it off with a clear coat of satin spray paint.
