You should make you a shop sign for outside your shop . I love when I see you made a new video love you you are so sweet and beautiful inside and out thanks for letting us watch what you and Chris are doing

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. thank you.

[@ginacrusco234]

You cracked me up when you said 'You get the gist of it...There's livestock feed, it's a shop.' So true and so funny at the same time!

[@GingerChickRehab]

😁

[@jeannewatkins4074]

I really love the signs. I am an old wood collector. You do wonderful work. I enjoyed this video very much. Happy Day.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you! You too!

[@marywiklander-williams6493]

The little board looks like a sleeve board…for ironing. They all look like wooden ironing boards. Nice make overs

[@annettectaylor2989]

You are a gifted and amazing teacher…Thank you for making it look so easy, and instilling confidence. Now…I’m gonna see if this old 73yo can create.😂

[@FunkyjunkinteriorsNet]

Well, your 'hodge podge' pieces of wood sure made the most unique reproduction antique signs that happen to look totally authentic! NAILED THIS. You also had me chuckling at 'signs that don't make sense.' Note to self: check your own stencil designs... haha! This was such a joy to watch! Now let's talk about that clay pot backdrop... goodness gracious... I'm in LOVE.

[@toniagarcia2885]

This video was sooooo relaxing , everything turned out beautiful 😊

[@angelgirl8544]

These signs are perfect. You are so creative.

[@KatyMaynard-iv8gn]

❤❤❤

[@pattyruth14]

You certainly were able to make those signs look old. Well done!

[@peggycarr7504]

You are so good at this stuff. I would definitely think it was old. Lol

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. thank you

[@zullo3529]

I love all the signs you made! They are beautiful. I love the old boards without the paint also. That was great picking. Thanks

[@deanacovey3510]

Loved all of those.

[@user-de6em7rg5f]

Love the old signs your work is amazing..

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thanks so much!

[@bonniesmith1179]

Loved all these signs and the fact that you didn’t use cricket on them.

[@trinadorcheus1719]

Love them all!

[@Fran-fz5wl]

❤😊😊😊

[@sherrymcsherry2984]

Your signs are always fantastic. I really loved the wood pieces that were framed out…wow, what a find. I want to make a flea market sign for in my living room that says Brimfield….miles and Springfield…. Miles ahead. Funky Junks’s stencils are reasonably priced for the size too. Thanks again…and make more signs please.

[@kimwilliams3211]

I love your channel your personality is as beautiful as you are! Thank you for all the tips. My wood crafts are looking so much better

[@donnarand414]

I love to watch you work. Even if you' ve done it before. My mom always said Hand made means made with love.

[@ellenl5626]

Loved this video and so glad that there was no Cricut needed!

[@GingerChickRehab]

😉

[@glendaolson8376]

My father in law has a bunch of these board. He made them many years ago. He was pelting. He used these to stretch the hide over them. I use them now for decorating.

[@conniekirkland4425]

They are all so cute,love the chippy look!👍💖

[@shishes9395]

Wow you nailed it one again! The signs look great! Love watching you create! ❤️

[@ransomdaniels8395]

Watching your idea of putting a shelf in that last item, may you could think about this: ta,e2 old prong push-on clothespins and stand one on each side of rhe box, like we use plastic dividers in tackle boxes, and hot glue along the side. Then slide your shelf into the slots of the clothes prongs. Let us know what you think! Inspiration flows from you and we soak it up by osmosis. Thanks! 😊❤❤❤❤❤

[@heatheryoung9949]

LOVE LOVE LOVE!! I want them all!

[@janawybo3647]

Beautiful. The boards look exactly like some I have from my family. They are hide stretchers!!!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

[@lauranederlander1654]

Absolutely 💕 love these!

[@gailweber2341]

I believe those are the boards fur hunters stretch or dry their skins over .

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.,, thank you

[@margaretdillinger5090]

Well, got the video finished,lol. I love these signs. I just to remember the paint process so I can get it right. 😊❤

[@madeleingrove4833]

Enjoyed the vid! Relaxing and inspiring! ❤

[@carolynalfonso4548]

Love watching you make your magic!

[@trudycranford5713]

the boards you are using with rounded ends, round on one end, etc., look like boards used for drying/stretching/tanning animal hides. my daddy used to trap and he made boards for each size animal. he had raccoon sz, beaver sz, mink sz, fox sz and so on. i wish i had kept his boards. my, my. you take me down memory lanes all of the time! you do such wonderful work. i love what you do.

[@marvineblackburn7846]

All the signs turned out great! ❤

[@deborahtaylor-baker844]

Love the General Store and Antique ones.

[@terriallen2537]

Great job Yvonne!! Love all the aged wood! 😊

[@holyredheifer9193]

You could still use your cricket to cut you stencil in cardboard or in plastic. Good job on the signs.

[@elaineplate8921]

Yvonne, your terra cotta pots are multiplying like bunnies, LOL! The signs are wonderful. TFS.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Lol.. I didn’t know I had so many tucked here and there until I started gathering them up 🤗

[@user-kh9ro4bs1m]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-me1ug7bk5q]

These boards were used for stretching furs over. They dried them on these.

[@sandychism6098]

You're the best. Love all the signs. Thank you for sharing.

[@JustJenn00]

I grabbed a bunch of those boards at an Amish yard sale.. they used them to stretch pelts 😊

[@deborahlee6240]

Love old signs too! I saw recently on FB that had some with parts of lyrics from old songs.

[@barbararichards4936]

Love this video!

[@barbarafuhrman7395]

Great ideas I have to try this ❤❤

[@margaretdillinger5090]

I did an old piece of broad yesterday. I put the dark wax by Waverly on it and it was so dry it sucked that wax right in. It ended up being a gorgeous piece of wood. So far I’m loving these signs. Have to stop as I have to be somewhere today. Love watching your process of creativity 😊❤. I’ll watch the rest later.

[@paulavanduynhoven8951]

Love watching you create. Doesn’t matter if it’s something you’ve done before, it’s a nice refresher ❤

[@dennisyoung4496]

Love the signs

[@lorreprentiss3604]

Do the kids today know what carbon paper is??? I remember typing with it in the 70's and 80"s, lol. Great video.

[@gailrhodes2859]

Love all the signs!! When I started watching you you were decoupaging windows and you mesmerized me with it!!! I order stuff from piglets corner I think was the name and Zazzle and made a few things but I’m still waiting for you to do it again or maybe it y it s out of style!! I loved it and have tons of decoupage paper

[@GingerChickRehab]

No it’s not out of style.. I’m just waiting for inspiration 🤗

[@lillieaguirre1889]

They are beautiful,you do such great work!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you so much!

[@gailweber2341]

The handled one may have been A concrete float it would’ve smoothed out the concrete.

[@LauraCollier-dx8ju]

WOW. You are very talented.

[@wg146]

Who but you would think these were amazing boards🤭 Love watching your videos.

[@wg146]

And they are amazing when you get through with them.

[@wg146]

Try changing orientation of your paper to landscape instead of portrait. It will print more of your letters on the same page.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.. I’m not sure I’m the tech savvy.. but I’ll try to remember that next time

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

I loved them all!

[@rhondasales5176]

Love them all. Tyfs

[@marteekelson6295]

❤

[@joycelong2312]

Love these projects, they all look very authentic. TFS

[@josephrainwater1966]

👍❤

[@hnycreek]

Great job!!

[@user-sh8lm4zd1k]

Those boards are pelt boards, trappers would stretch animal hides on them. (The ones with tapered tops)

[@gertgerenser1975]

Love these signs! They turned out great! Thanks for sharing.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you for watching ❤

[@donnamcl6134]

Yvonne I love ALL the signs!! TFS

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you ❤️

[@suevogelar9421]

You make stenciling look so easy! It’s my nemesis! Always the paint leaks under the stencils and ruins it for me.

[@gwencobb1452]

Gteat sugns the one with the gandle us a wooden trowel or a float used by masons ti spreaf and smooth.plastet

[@janashe8600]

Yvonne, This was a great lesson for me on making signs & arrows. I love your ingenuity!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you ❤

[@nangel270]

What kind of paper did you use on the Antique sign that allowed the pencil rubbing to transfer the word onto the wood? It didn’t look like any kind of carbon paper so I’m confused. Thank you. They all turned out beautiful.

[@mariaprats6245]

I love your back drop now that you included the terracotta planters. I love all the signs

[@GingerChickRehab]

🥰

[@judithstonier9872]

I've admired the Antique sign in your house and now I know how to make one ! Loved them all especially the General Store ❤😊

[@tammywhite4590]

Absolutely loved all these signs! Thank you for sharing the techniques

[@cynthiadall3414]

Yes very old ironing boards

[@sarahcochcroft323]

I really love your signs and how you made them! Love it!

[@ladybugcarrie]

Hi 😊 If Iam not mistaken, the board with handle was used to level /spread cement back in the day. All signs are AWESOME❣️🐞

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thanks for the info!

[@tlur8813]

I love using stencils also! These signs look great!!❤

[@brendaphilyaw3677]

These are just gorgeous!! I have two of the rounded end boards that were my Dad’s! He used them when he was a young boy and caught critters to sell for their hides. He would stretch their hides on these pieces of wood to dry them! He was a very determined young man that turned into the best Dad in the world! You have certainly inspired me to make something with them! Thanks so much for all your hard work!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.. thank you for sharing this ❤

[@user-qb7pu2pt1e]

Love the signs they turned out great. The boards were hide stretchers. They made perfect signs. Great job again hit it right in the 🎯 bulls eye. As always.❤

[@bettyvann5499]

Beautiful job! Love the signs.

[@rbirkheimer59]

Great signs! The lumber was just perfect and looked so good when you were done:) Can't wait to see more of Chickie design signs ! God Bless. Hug's my friend, Rebekah

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@marilynlovett2327]

Love the old signs. I have an old ironing board. You inspired me to do a sign!❤

[@conniesanders9755]

Hi Yvonne, you did it again. Knocked them out of the park. I have been looking for a sign that says FAMILY and now I’m just going to try making my own. Love the Antique sign. Have a great evening.TFS

[@GingerChickRehab]

Love that. Yes .. you can just make your own ❤

[@michellewalker8196]

Hi Yvonne, I love the signs from tonights video. Excited and so looking forward to coming and seeing your new both areas . Hope to see you and Chris again this year...

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you ❤

[@pennybill9237]

I think the one with the handle is for finishing concrete. Love your signs, you always amaze me.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh thank you!

[@shellydehart8217]

AWESOME!! I think you did fantastic work on each sign. They all look like they’ve been hanging around for quite awhile. Adding the dirt definitely gives them the age. You continue to inspire n amaze me at what you do. Have to share… got my milk paint (the green colors) n I’m loving it! I did a antique child’s chair n turn out the perfect vintage green color. Wish there was a way I could send a picture. I’m so proud of myself n it would never had happened if it wasn’t for you inspiring me. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟

[@kellihull7600]

Absolutely love these! What fabulous boards too!!!! ❤

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@donnalayne2395]

I LOVE these signs!!!!!❤❤❤❤ are you selling any on ebay? Great job you are really good at your craft!! 😊

[@juliebrard5883]

Love all your work and watch your videos over and over!! What is the wax like substance in the big pail? very curious

[@donnadozier4294]

Yvonne I loved this video! ❤ I love signs and old boards. ❤ Your lettering and painting look so good. Just a thought, for my lettering I use office, Google has a free program if you don't have Microsoft. I write out my word/s, pick my font, then using the margin measurements to pick the font size that it fits. I don't know if I explained it well enough but it is so easy. ❤❤❤

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.. I need to remember to check that out. Thank you

[@user-mq1ly9xq7c]

Hi Yvonne!! Loved the video!! The signs turned out beautiful! The masking tape for the arrows was genius ❤ thank you for loving what you do and inspiring us❤ Jeanne Baton Rouge 31:32

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@lauriedaley354]

Will the wax create chippiness if you use chalk paint instead of milk paint?

[@carolcowser1461]

Do you look for vintage sign fonts or do you just choose what you like?
