How to make a Wallpaper Sign

1- Cut your sheet of MDF down to 35″ Long x 25″ wide.

2- Seal your MDF or wood with a clear coat or paint.

 

3- Cut your pine down to 3/4″ x 3/4″ strips.

4- Stain your strips of pine with stain. I used Early American by Minwax and a foam brush to apply the stain.

5- Once your board is dry it is time to roll out the wallpaper.

6- I left about an inch overhang on each side of the board so I had a little wiggle room.

7- Fill your sink or water basin with water. You could even use your bathtub!

8- Completely submerge the wallpaper in the water.

9- Remove and place on your wood.

10- Smooth out the wallpaper with a squeegee or credit card. Don’t press too hard or you will push all of the glue off of the wallpaper.

Once all the bubbles are out repeat steps 6-10 again for the second piece of wallpaper.

11- Make sure to take the time to line up your seams.

12- Once all the bubbles are out, use a damp cloth to remove all the glue and smooth any other bubbles. Once the wallpaper is dry, remove the excess wallpaper on the sides with a razor blade and then add your frame.

And there you have a fantastic DIY wallpaper sign. Enjoy!
