Sign Kit Assembly from As Unique As U

Please Excuse the Mess Sign kit
Thank you so much for your purchase.

Your kit will arive as follows:

Paint the board any color you like. I prefer to use a yard and garden paint or outdoor paints.
You can find 2oz outdoor paints at your local craft store for less than $2.00 or at Wal-Mart.
I usually paint all of the sides and the back of the board as well
Above, I laid a piece of parchment paper on the table to protect the table and simply squirted some paint directly onto it. You can use a foam brush to paint the board but I prefer brushes.
Let the paint dry completely!!! Do not attempt to place your decal on wet paint!!
Now prepare your decal

Lay the decal face down and peel the paper backing away from the decal. If the decal is a little stubborn just give it a firm press and then peel back and it should come off.
Remove the backing completely
Now position the decal onto the board. Do not apply any pressure.
Find the position that you like best. Once you decide on placement, smooth the surface with a card or hard spatula from the center out
It is ok to apply heavy pressure. Make certain that you rub across the entire decal.
Now slowly peel the transfer tape away from the decal until it is completely removed.
Determine where you want to place the screw eyelets for hanging. This step is not required. You can staple the ribbon to the back if you like, but I prefer the ribbon to be on top. I don't meaure when deciding where to place the eyelets but if you want to be exact you can measure 1" from each side and that will be a perfect distance. Screw in the eyelets on the top edge of the board then thread the ribbon through. Knot it once and Viola--done!


If using indoor acrylics, i do recommend that you use a sealer to protect the paint.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me. I would love to see your finished signs as well so also please email me a picture of it in use.

Thanks again for your purchase!!
