Download the Disney lettering to use for stencils. Print them off the size you want to determine what size wood you want. You\u2019ll want a fairly big piece. I did about 5&#215;7 inches , but wish I\u2019d had it a little bigger.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/2020\/09\/diy-disney-inspired-welcome-sign\/waltograpgh\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-78323\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-78323 size-full\" title=\"Sign\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/waltograpgh-e1596240834982.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/waltograpgh-e1596240834982.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/waltograpgh-e1596240834982-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Step Two<\/h3>\n<p>Find a piece of wood from your home or local hardware store. Any type of wood will do, I just used an old piece of plywood. You may need to saw the wood to match your preferred length.<\/p>\n<h3>Step Three<\/h3>\n<p>First, stain the wood, if desired. I happened to have this walnut stain at home, so I used that. I would have liked something lighter, so I could do black lettering, but I didn\u2019t want to buy more.<\/p>\n<h3>Step Four<\/h3>\n<p>Lay out &amp; gently tape your stencils on the board for how you\u2019d like them. Once positioned, grab your black or white paint, whichever you are using for the lettering. I used white because I had dark wood. I made my own Mickey stencil by tracing circles from objects from my home. Note: If you have a circuit, you can also do this with vinyl lettering. I do not, so I painted by hand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/2020\/09\/diy-disney-inspired-welcome-sign\/welcome-sign-stencils\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-78325\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-78325 size-full\" title=\"Sign\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/welcome-sign-stencils-e1596240986684.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/welcome-sign-stencils-e1596240986684.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/welcome-sign-stencils-e1596240986684-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Step Five<\/h3>\n<p>Once dried, do a second coat of the lettering and Mickey head base.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/2020\/09\/diy-disney-inspired-welcome-sign\/welcome-sign\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-78324\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-78324 size-full\" title=\"Sign\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/welcome-sign-e1596241086363.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/welcome-sign-e1596241086363.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/welcome-sign-e1596241086363-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Step Six<\/h3>\n<p>Once that has dried, it\u2019s time to finish painting Mickey.

I did this using the bottom part of the brush, the plastic part.
