Transfer print to wood the easy way
I’ve been adding little touches here and there as time allows to give the mudroom some personal touches.
I have fond that If supplies are within easy reach the kids are more likely to get creative.
I had this cute wine storage crate and decided to embellish it a little.
I used this transfer method on my beach sign awhile back and it worked out pretty well.
Supplies
Stain
Wood Finish Stain Marker
Sharpie
Pencil
Acrylic Paint, Steel Gray
Directions:
Print out the word CREATE using arial font and
trace each letter in on the backside of the paper using a pencil.
Put the piece of paper on top of the wood crate.
Take pencil and color over the word create so the writing on the back will transfer onto the wood.
I wanted an aged look so I used a wood marker to fill in the letters. If you don’t care for the aged look, you can use a black sharpie.
I added a touch of grey paint with a dry brush
Sanded
Used a wet paper towel to apply just a little bit of stain
Voila!
Hope everyone is having a great week!

I am a huge fan of things in boxes or whatever we can find. I love the white jars you used they almost look too fancy for kid art supplies! Keep up the good work you are inspiring us all!!
I love how the room is coming together!! I was quite surprised to see you had added my blog to this post…THANKS!

What a cute idea! The sanding really made it seem like it was originally part of the box. Great job 🙂
