Rummage Sale Christmas Decor to Coffee Sign

,

I purchased this country primitive Christmas "Believe" sign in burgundy with black base last weekend at a garage sale.  I think it was 75 cents.


I first painted the sign with two coats of Decoart Chalky Paint in Old Lace.


Then I distressed the sign with 150 grit sandpaper.  
I then stenciled on the word "Coffee" with a stencil from the  Funky Junk Interiors Old Sign Stencil Collection. Who doesn't love coffee decor in a kitchen? 

I used a small bristle stencil brush and black craft paint.  I couldn't tape the stencil down because there was a curve on the base.  I was very careful to hold it down tight with any available fingers on my left hand.  

I received the Old Sign Stencils at a reduced rate for promotion on my blog but all opinions on the stencils are my own.

I then distressed the lettering a bit more and coated the whole project with Miss Mustard Seed Hemp Oil that I purchased from Amazon.  I find the Hemp Oil easier to use than chalk paint wax.

So don't overlook any tired old signs at the garage sale or thrift shop!  They can be a perfect candidate for a makeover!
