Fresh Baked Pie Sign

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Apply antiquing glaze evenly over a 6x6 wood chunk.
   
2. Using a clean, dry cloth, gently wipe off some glaze for a distressed effect. Blow dry to set.
   
3. Lightly brush mustard yellow paint over the glaze for a warm, rustic look. Let dry.
   
4. Position the “Fresh Baked Pie” stencil from the Oh Good Gravy Stencil Set on the wood. Paint the design in white and allow to dry.
   

Double-Sided Gnome/Tree Design

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Sand the other side of the wood chunk for a smooth surface.
   
2. Apply white paint, leaving some wood exposed for an aged effect. Blow dry to set.
   
3. Cut out the tree design from the Fall Forest Gnome Rub-on Transfer Pack. Burnish onto the surface using the transfer tool.
