How to make this DIY Sign for Summer Fun
Firstly, add a dab of each paint colour diagonally across the wood board.
Drag a paintbrush through each colour, blending the colours together as you move across the board.
Follow the outline of the letters with a sharp knife.
Keep going until all of the letters are removed. Keep the inside of the P and R .
Flip the cut template over and cover thoroughly with a paper glue.
Centre the template over the board and then smooth it down. Use glue to attach the inside of the P and R in place.
Mix resin using the directions on the package.
Set the board on a baking tray covered in tin foil and raise up on an old bowl, ribbon spool, or any other item that will hold the board flat and can be discarded. Make sure the board is level.
Pour the resin over the DIY sign.
Spread the resin with a plastic knife, the resin is self-leveling so it should fill in any gaps as you go. Set aside in a dust free spot for 24 hours to fully cure.
As the resin dries, occasionally check on it and then pop any bubbles that may appear with a toothpick.
