Instructions
Watch the full video tutorial, then get the step-by-step instructions, below.
Step 1: Stain the Walnut Hollow 21″ x 21″ Framed Rustic Pallet. If that product isn’t available (or have spare wood lying around) build a framed wood sign, instead.
Step 2: While the stain is drying, print the Free U-CUT Tree Farm Printable. The design should print on multiple pages (instructions for Mac and Windows).

Step 3: Once the image is printed, trim each page and align it with the other pages. This will create an 18″x18″ image. Tape along the seams.
Step 4: Flip over the large image, and rub chalk all over the back side of the paper.
Step 5: Flip it back to the front side and place it onto the framed rustic pallet. Tape in place, if needed.
Step 6: Use a pencil to trace the outlines of the text and the tree. Once everything has been traced, remove the paper.
Step 7: Go over the chalk outlines with paint markers. Once the outlines are drawn, fill in everything with paint markers.
Step 8: Once the paint is dry, give the finished product a light sanding.
