Happy Sunday all! I just finished a little DIY project this weekend and I wanted to share how simple it is to paint letters onto wood surfaces. The idea came from pinterest here but with a tiny tweak. Jaime from That's My Letter was personalizing various items made out of wood but my item was a wooden sign already painted. I liked the sign but wanted to change the coloring to better go with our home decor. Here is the final result. The project is actually pretty simple. Using a ballpoint pen, trace the outline of each letter on your item. Give enough pressure so the pen will indent the wood. Since I wanted to keep the existing lettering but change the color of the sign I spray painted the sign a gray primer. After the paint dried I then used a 1/4" flat paint brush and painted the letters white (inside the indent). The indent should hold the paint if it is deep enough (like a little dam). Since my sign wasn't smooth, I didn't get a good enough indent
