Measure 2.5 inches from either end of plank and drill small holes along the top edge.
Screw in small eyelets.
Paint a generous coat of glue on one surface. Leave it to dry just until the glue is tacky but still wet.
Brush a generous coat of white chalky finish paint over the glue. As the paint dries it will create a lovely crackle effect. Let the glue and paint dry completely.
Cut 2-3 pieces of ribbon about 2-3” long each and glue some pinecones to the ends of the cut ribbon.
Mix a bit of black and white chalky paint (or use grey). Apply the welcome phrase with a light amount of paint on the brush (to avoid having the paint bleed under the stencil).
Remove the stencil and let the paint dry completely. Use a fine tip paintbrush for touch ups.
Wrap some ribbon around the painted plank to resemble a wrapped present.
Cut a piece of the floral stem to about ⅔ of the width of the sign. Glue to the top left corner of the sign.
Attach twine to the eyelets and hang your sign.
