Happy First Day of School for some of you out there today! Two of my kids are headed to the first day–both in high school. I also have a Freshman in college who will be starting in a couple of weeks. I am featuring a sign today using the Vintage Sign Font found here in the Shop or in the Silhouette Store. This font has great letters for signs as well as some special characters.
To find those special characters, you can see them in Silhouette Studio. Or if you are using another program. The special shapes are found on these keys: []|<>? (look next to P on the keyboard and next to M).
I used Oramask 813 purchased at Expressions Vinyl to make the stencil for the board. I also decided to get the Silhouette Roll Feeder since my sign is 5 feet tall. I would highly recommend the roll feeder. It kept the vinyl moving nice and straight. One caution is that as you get to the end of the roll of vinyl, be careful that it doesn’t get stuck as it is moving in/out of the machine.
I used the alphabet and the leaf which can be found with keys [ ]. The board is common board–5′ tall and 9″ wide. The tall board makes a great front porch statement!
