I was in Dunelm Mills the other day and they were selling off their wooden signs for 49p
There were lots left and I dismissed them as I couldn't think who or why I would want them
Then as I perused the Christmas things as one does, i had a light bulb moment
I should purchase some just in case
In case of what I didn't know
Well now I do know after much thought I have come up with this
To make I put masking tape over the edges and painted the white area with blackboard paint
I purchased a small pot on Amazon and boy does it go a long way, its also available here
in case they run out of products
When I link to things sometimes the item is unavailable
I found 2-3 coats covers the writing, I did sand it off one but found it made no difference
Use thin coats and let dry completely between coats
I used 3 coats
When completely dry, remove masking tape
I then cut a template of `days to` and attached to the sign using sticky back plastic
Dab white paint onto the stencil, when dry remove stencil
The reason I have put `days to` is the sign can be used all year around, for Christmas, holidays, Birthdays or any occasion you can think of
I then cut a length of string, attaching one end to the board and the other to a stick of chalk
