How to make a BTS Teacher Sign using StyleTechCraft Vinyl.

It’s August.

Summer Vacation is wrapping up. 

There are School Supplies on the Store Shelves.

And teachers are working overtime to make sure their

Why do teachers work so hard?

Because they love to Teach, Love, and Inspire.

How to make a BTS Teacher Sign using StyleTechCraft Vinyl…

• Paint the wood sign with Black Multi-Surface Acrylic Paint*.
• To make the sign look like a chalkboard, water down a small amount of white acrylic paint.  Paint over the black sign with the watered-down white paint.  Quickly wipe over the painted sign to remove some of the white paint.
• Lightly sand over sign with sanding black to smooth out the grain of the wood.

• I used the “Teach, Love, and Inspire” SVG File and a Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine* to create the design for the front of the sign.
• I re-sized the design to 7 ½” to fit onto my 10″ sign.
• I cut the design using StyleTechCraft Glossy Craft Vinyl*.

• After cutting, remove the excess vinyl from the design using a Vinyl Weeding Tool*.
• To apply the vinyl to the sign, lay the transfer paper over the vinyl.
• Rub over the transfer paper with a vinyl scraper tool and lift the design from the white paper backing.
• Lay the transfer paper onto the sign and rub over the design.

• Gently remove the transfer paper.

The back to school sign is a great gift for the favorite teacher in your life.

StyleTechCraft Vinyl is great for labeling all sorts of items in the classroom.
