Today I\u2019m going to show you how to paint this awesome Welcome Porch Sign. If you haven\u2019t painted a Porch Leaner before this is a super easy one to start with. It\u2019s relatively cheap and you can paint it in a short amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m going to show you a couple of techniques to paint this porch sign. I\u2019m using stencils from Essential Stencil<\/a><\/strong>. Use coupon code TEXASHEIDI at checkout for a discount. I\u2019m going to use a paper towel and a dry brush technique and I\u2019ll show you how!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paint the Background of Your Porch Sign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First things first, take a 6 ft board and stain it. I use General Finishes Glaze Effects Van Dyke Brown. It is a water-based stain that dries super quick. You can leave the wood grain or white wash it like me.  Take a dry chip brush and dip it in white paint, make sure you offload some of the paint. Then just dry brush the paint on to the porch sign for a white washed look. If you use too much paint you can always take a paper towel or baby wipe to fix it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stencil Your Welcome Porch Leaner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Make sure your porch leaner is dry first, if you are short on time you can grab a blow dryer to help. Before you start stenciling always make sure you offload your stencil brush! I used a paisley stencil but you can use any stencil design you would like! Using turquoise paint and a stencil brush I stenciled some paisley on the top and bottom of the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you tape your welcome stencil together first and using black paint stencil the word Welcome on the sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is such an easy sign to make! You can make signs like this to sell or for paint parties or even to give as gifts!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using stencils at a Paint Party?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need a zillion stencils! But you do want at least 1 stencil for every 3 painters. Better if you can have 1 for every 2.  When you are starting out, I know you can\u2019t go out and buy a bunch of stencils. I built my collection over time. I used some profit from each party to continue adding to my collection of stencils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to get the boards?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I get my boards at Lowe\u2019s. They are a 6 ft white wood and I\u2019ve paid anywhere from $13 – $20 per board. If you are using these for a paint party make sure you stain them ahead of time. This will save lots of time at the party!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
