Start with 1/4 inch plywood the size you want your sign.
Pam gets these at Lowes in 8×4 ft sheets for around $13 and also at Habitat Restore. She likes the Restore ones better because of the dings and bumps, which add to the distressed look. *Disclaimer – It gets a little fuzzy at this point. My husband is an amazing chemical engineer, which is his job, so that is a good thing. Using my DSLR in manual mode is not his job. Pam cuts her plywood to whatever size she plans to make her sign. The above sign is framed with an old window, so she cut the plywood to fit that frame. *Kids, use a tripod when in low light with slow shutter speed Pam uses a roller to paint her background color onto the plywood. TIP: I learned that she wraps the rollers in plastic bags like you get at the grocery to keep them wet until next time she uses that color.
