Dollar Store Walt Disney Quote Sign

March 2, 2020

Upcycle a Dollar Store sign to create a farmhouse inspired Walt Disney quote with just some paint and letter stickers.

Materials:

  • Dollar Store Sign – 11” by 6”
  • Americana acrylic paint from DecoArt – Milk Chocolate; Lamp Black; Country Red; Titanium White
  • Paintbrush – 1” flat wash
  • Letter Stickers – Foam 1” bubble style; ¾” block style; ¼” typewriter style
  • Buttons – two large white 1 ¼” in diameter
  • Washi or Painters Tape
  • Ruler
  • Pencil
  • Eraser
  • Liquid Glue with fine tip applicator
  • Scissors
  • Craft Knife

Instructions:

Step One

If the frame of the sign is not already black, base coat sign frame with Lamp Black and then let dry.  Dry brush Milk Chocolate randomly over the black frame to give the appearance of wood grain.  Let dry.

Step Two

Apply washi or painters tape on inside edges of the sign.  Measure down 6 ½” from top and apply a horizontal line of tape.  Base coat the top portion of the sign with Lamp Black.  Apply a second coat, if necessary.  Let dry and remove horizontal line of tape.

Step Three

Apply horizontal line of tape at the bottom edge of the black paint.  Base coat the bottom of the sign with Country Red.  Apply a second coat, if necessary.  Let dry and remove all tape.

Step Four

Select stickers to spell out quote (or an alternate Disney favorite).  Money Saving Tip:  dimensional letter stickers can be painted to match any project!  Gently apply stickers to their plastic packaging and paint all letters Titanium White.  Let dry.

Step Five

Measure and lightly pencil in guidelines for the quote.  Carefully apply letter stickers.

Step Six

Apply small letter stickers to spell out author’s name using the tip of a craft knife for precise placement.

Step Seven

Attach two white buttons to the red section of the sign with Liquid Glue.

This farmhouse inspired Walt Disney quote sign is the perfect addition to a kids room or a quick and easy gift to make for the mouse lover in your life!
