I have a quick project for you and lets just call it the lazy way to get an awesome distressed look with half the work.
You can do this with any sign but I thought it would be fun to use some 4x4 blocks I had laying around and turn them into reversible Valentine's and St. Patty's day decor. I love when I have something that is quick to change for the season and even better less to store.
Sand and paint your blocks.
I used chalk paint but any kind will work.
Size and cut your vinyl. Apply to your blocks.
Front
Back
Paint a thin coat of the same color of paint directly over your vinyl.
Let it dry
Using a piece of sandpaper gently sand the paint off your vinyl. It will give your vinyl a matte look and leave some paint making it look hand painted and distressed instead of vinyl.
You can sand some of your block too for a great overall distressed look.
You can also lightly rub some dark wax along the edges and a few spots on your wood. I used the edge of a paper towel to apply it. Once it drys sand to give it a more even look.
I tied some tulle around the blocks to give it a little more color and just switched the color out for each holiday.
