How to Create Your Own Fairy Tale Reclaimed Wood Signs with Movie Fonts
How cute would these fairy tale reclaimed wood signs look in your child’s play area? Learn how to make one or all of them today with free movie fonts.
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.
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.

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:
- exterior satin paint
- Silhouette CAMEO (to cut out my stencils!)
- matte finishing spray (once you’re all done)

My Favorite Free Movie Fonts
Here is a photo of each sign and under the sign is the link to download the movie font. These are such a fun way to add a bit of magic to your home decor.

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 😉

Have a wonderful weekend, and until next time! 🙂

Thank you so much Carole! I can’t wait to see what you come up with 🙂
Awwwww, you included girly places, too! Love it! And thanks for connecting us with the free fonts, I’m crushing on that Willy Wonka one.
No problem, Audra! I’m obsessed with fonts so it was a must to share them around 🙂
Best creative idea of the day!! Love this! This would be a fabulous addition to my link party Making Memories Mondays going on now! I would love for you to stop over! 🙂

Hi Cathy! Thank you so much for the kind words and the invite! I’ll check it out ASAP 🙂
I want to do this at my house. Thanks for posting. Hello from Busy Monday.
Thank you, Melissa!
Love this! We just came back from Disneyland so this is perfect timing! I am pinning and will be creating several of these for my daughters. Thanks!
That is perfect timing! Your daughters are going to love you even more 😉 Happy sign-making!
These are so adorable! I’d love to share this post at our weekend features post with a link back to you. I can let you know when the post goes live so you can share on social media as well 🙂
Thank you so much Jenna!! So psyched to be apart of your party!!
Love these, thanks, I’ve wanted a Hogwarts type font for ages – no idea what I will use it for, but it just feels like something I should have!
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. 😉
What technique did you use to paint the fonts on the boards?
Hi Linda! I used my Silhouette Cameo to create the stencil, and then Liquitex Spray Paint. Multiple and thin layers!
Our post went live this morning with these adorable signs. .Here’s the link if you’d like to share.

I love this and I’d like to try it! But how do you trabsfer the lettering to the wood?
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
