Step 1

Stain the wood plaque and set aside to dry. To do so, apply one coat of stain liberally with a clean lint free cloth (or paintbrush). Allow it to penetrate in the wood for 5-10 minutes then remove excess by wiping with a soft cloth in the direction of the grain.

Step 2

Apply one (or two) layers of chalky paint to a wood letter and let dry.

Step 3

Use sandpaper to sand the edges of the letter for a more rustic appearance.

Step 4

Glue your letter to the plaque with wood glue. Let dry.
TIP: If you choose to hang it outdoors, be sure to add a sealant.
