Supplies you will need:

Craft Wood (from the craft store)
9 x 9 wood plaque
Squared Dowel Rods (two sizes: 3/32 x ⅜ x 36” + 5/32 x 5/32 x 24”) * you can use other sizes if you want a bigger one.
White Paint (Can also use paint or any color stain)
Sponge brush or paintbrush
Hot Glue Gun
Natural Wood Letter Tiles (from Michael’s)

Directions on making your Christmas Letter Board

First, paint the wood. If the wood is not cut to size, go ahead and do that step first.

Note: You can cut craft wood with a razor knife, a table saw or hand saw.

Measurements for the wood:

Base: 3/32 x ⅜ x 36 inches
Face: 5/32 x 5/32 x 24 inches

Start by painting the wood first with a brush in a well-ventilated area. If you would rather stain the wood, then follow the same steps below, except stain as normal. Be sure to wipe the stain off if used.

Paint/Stain along the grain of the wood.
Allow the paint to set and dry.

Next, glue the wood together.

With the wood cut and painted, it’s time to assemble the sign.

First, place a base piece of wood flat on the surface.

Next, grab the face and glue it to the base. (note: this is used to support wood letter tiles to prevent them from falling off.)

Place wood letters on the sign. You can purchase the wood letter tiles from a craft store or you can order online.
