I created a Vertical "Welcome" Sign in October 2019 using a package of $3 wood letters found at Target One Spot. In March 2020, I repurposed the Vertical Welcome sign by using the backside of my sign to create a horizontal Welcome sign, featuring the popular Farmhouse Dollar Tree Windmill.

Instructions
Gather supplies. Watch the videos for more tips!
Paint the center of the wood with Linen chalked paint and let dry.
Use the wood letters as a stencil and attach them to the white paint using folded painters tape.
Paint over the wood letters with Charcoal chalked paint.
Carefully remove the wood letters to reveal the white lettering. Touch up the letters if needed with a detailed tip paintbrush.
Let the Vertical Welcome sign dry before painting the other side.
Paint the other side of the sign with Linen chalked paint and let dry.
Use Aileen's Tacky Glue to attach the Charcoal chalked paint letters horizontally to the sign (omit the "O" since you will be using the windmill in its place).
Use Aileen's Tacky Glue to attach the windmill to the sign.
Attach a sawtooth hanger to the back if you wish to hang and if you plan to flip to the other side, remove the sawtooth hanger so it's not seen.
