To make this sign, I first downloaded and installed a Star Wars Font. Then I typed up the words and played around with the font size until I had it just like I wanted. Next, I scribbled all over the backs with a pencil to make a transfer. I used blue painters tape to mark straight lines and tape down the words. Then I traced over the words with a pencil to transfer them to the board. After that, I painted in the letters and added a black border.
When I made this sign, I didn’t have a black paint pen. A paint pen makes this go MUCH faster, even if you just use it to outline your letters and then fill in with a paint brush.
Next, using the same technique, and a canvas I had laying around the house, I made a second sign. What’s a Star Wars theme without this saying??
I painted the white letters in acrylic paint, and then outlined them in silver Sharpie, and the word “force” is all done in silver Sharpie. I was worried about the longevity of the Sharpie ink, but I made these over a year ago, and there hasn’t been any color bleeding at all so far.
Well, there you have it! I just love decorating with favorite quotes, in fact, I’m looking for just the right board to paint a quote for my dining room. And, in case you missed it, here is the Darth Vader Lamp again…
