So, I’m sure you’re wondering… how in the world did she draw out all of those fonts on those fairy tale reclaimed wood signs? Well, I cannot lie. I didn’t.

my FREE guide!

    All of the typography that you see on these signs are actually pre-made movie fonts! How fantastic is that, AND I’m going to even tell you exactly where to find each and every one of them so you can make your own. 🙂

    Also, I cannot take full credit for coming up with this idea.  A few months back I saw a few different versions on Pinterest, and absolutely fell in love with this idea. Seriously, whoever originally came up with this is brilliant!

    REMINDER: Each of these fonts that you will need to download (except for Cinderella’s Castle) are for personal use only. In other words, please do not make any of these signs with the intent of selling them. This would be a huge copyright violation, and the owner(s) of these fonts can legally come after you.

    So, just click on each of the download links under the picture to get the free font.

    Wood Sign Supplies

    Need help figuring out which supplies to use to create one of these signs? No problem! Here are my top 3 supplies that I absolutely ADORE using whenever I’m creating reclaimed wood signs:

    1. exterior satin paint
    2. Silhouette CAMEO (to cut out my stencils!)
    3. matte finishing spray (once you’re all done)

    My Favorite Free Movie Fonts

    Fairy Tale Reclaimed Wood Signs

    Also, one last thing before I go! I know on Facebook there were a few concerns that I screwed my signs directly into my tree. Trust me, I originally thought this was a no-no too!

    However, after doing a little bit of research for myself I found that a mature tree (like the one I used) will heal and be perfectly fine. The biggest concern is when the tree is too young or is already ill with decay.

    While I completely understand if this is not the best route for you and your family I did make sure to do my homework first 😉

    You can check out one of the articles I found via HGTV here.

    Have a wonderful weekend, and until next time! 🙂

        I couldn’t agree more Julie! Not having this font would be completely unnatural. It would be like… not having jelly with your PB&J. 😉

        Hi Linda! I used my Silhouette Cameo to create the stencil, and then Liquitex Spray Paint. Multiple and thin layers!

        Hi Tami! Honestly, there are a variety of ways you could go about adding text to wood. My favorite method is with vinyl, but check out these two posts I’ve done with two different methods to help you get started: DIY Reclaimed Wood Love Sign OR How to Create a Sign Using Your Own Handwriting
