This is the kit I’ll be using for today’s project.  You can see that it comes with a round base, accent edge piece and the “HOME” cutout.  It’s important to note that this is not a door hanger kit due to it’s size – it’s 1/2 inch thick and 22 inched round.

Begin by painting the edge piece with the color Anchor.  I used a small acrylic paint brush to do this.

Once the “HOME” cutout is dry, you’ll be ready to add the next layer of stain.  I originally applied Tobacco Road and misted off with water to create a light stain look.  Once it was dry, I decided to apply a light (diluted) thin coat of white magic.

You can see that I add a thin coat of adhesive to all the pieces and then use clamps to hold everything in place as it dries.

I suggest using smaller clamps spaced evenly across the piece.

Once I had the pieces for the sign base glued together, I realized it looked a bit unfinished.

So, I decided to paint it black.  Once painted it looked like one solid piece.
