Materials Needed

Step 1: Paint the Wood Board

Start by painting your 10" round wood board with white paint. Allow it to dry completely, then apply a second coat for smooth, full coverage.

Step 2: Apply the Vintage Truck Transfer

Cut out a vintage truck design from the Rustic Vintage Truck Rub-On Transfers pack. Position it on the lower half of the board and burnish firmly using the transfer tool until the design fully adheres.

Step 3: Stencil "Vintage Soul" Lettering

Take the “Vintage Soul” stencil from the Country Roads & Vintage Soul Mini Stencil set and place it at the top of the board. Using a stencil brush, apply black paint to fill in the lettering.

Helpful Tips

  • Use less paint on your stencil brush to avoid bleeding and achieve crisp edges.
  • Burnish from the edges inward for detailed rub-on transfers to ensure all small elements stick properly.
  • If your board surface is rough, lightly sand with 400-grit sandpaper before applying the transfer for a smoother finish.
  • Check alignment by standing up and viewing your project from above to keep text and designs straight.
  • Allow paint to fully dry between coats to ensure full coverage and a clean look.
