    This was very interesting. I am starting to do Wood Pallet Signs, and I think since I don’t have a circuit machine to use, this might be another way. Do you know does this work on glass, cause I make Decorated Glass Blocks. Again thank you for a great idea.

  3. Hey, you may have already learned this but you can get chalk transfer paper in the art department of the craft store. It’s way less messy and you can use the same sheet like 50 times. I’ve made over 1,000 signs this way. They also have carbon paper for lighter/ white signs. Your stuff is super cute.
