I love wood projects and creating signs for holidays and season. Eventually the cost of wood starts to add up. Let’s learn how to create a Paint Stick Sign. Just buy a pack of paint sticks and wood glue. Then have fun decorating and creating for any occasion!

I wanted my sign to be a square so my husband cut the paint sticks on his Miter Saw and then lightly sanded the edges. It’s almost a perfect square. The paint sticks can be cut or used as is, it’s up to you!

For my sign I used 8 paint sticks that are 8 1/2 inches long and two paint sticks 7 1/2 inches long.

Line up the paint sticks with the ruler side facing you.

Make sure all the paint sticks are straight, then add glue to the 7 1/2 inch strip and glue it down onto the paint sticks. Do this at the top and bottom of the sign. I glued the horizontal boards about 2 inches from the top and bottom.

I did this at night so I placed something heavy on the sign to help the glue seal overnight.
