How To Make Farmhouse Fresh Eggs Sign
Putting together your dream farmhouse kitchen doesn’t have to be too hard. In fact, one of the best ways to add some rustic charm is with a fresh eggs sign. This project is actually really easy to do and only requires a few supplies that you likely already have on hand.
So, gather up your materials and get started on your own fresh eggs sign today.
Supplies Needed:
- Unfinished Wood Arrow
- White Craft Paint
- Grey or Black Craft Paint
- Fresh Eggs Printable
- Scissors
- Tape
- Graphite Paper (optional)
- Paint Brush
- Clear Sealer (optional)
- Sawtooth Hanger
Instructions:
Here is everything you will need to make this farmhouse kitchen sign…
Step 1
Start by painting the arrow white with craft paint. I wanted a rustic look so I used a dry brush technique when painting. This left me with an imperfect surface where you can see the wood at times. Just right!
Step 2
After the arrow is dry, print out the fresh eggs printable onto regular paper. Cut away any excess with scissors and tape it onto your sign.
Step 3
Now it’s time to add the words to your arrow sign!
You can use a few methods for transferring your words onto the sign:
- Use graphite paper laid under your paper and trace with a pencil. A dark line will be left on the white arrow.
- Turn over your “fresh eggs” paper and color the entire back with the side of a pencil lead. This will now act just like the graphite paper mentioned above.
- NEITHER! You can use a pen to go over the letters and press down hard. It will make a slight indention in the wood as shown below.
I obviously used the indention method but any of these three will work well.
Step 4
Then, just fill in your letters with grey or black paint.
Remember that this is farmhouse kitchen decor so it is meant to be a bit rustic. So don’t get too carried away with making it perfect!
Note: I actually went over my letters a few times with the paint before they looked just the way I wanted them to. I then allowed everything to dry completely.
Tip: You can also go over this with a clear spray sealer before displaying. This is important if it will be anywhere in your kitchen where it can get splattered with food, grease, or even water.

Why is it we love arrows? Ya got me. Every time would see decorative arrows at Hobby Lobby on sale thought I needed to buy them. Plus have arrow hubs made me couple years ago I use in summer for my lake/beach theme decorating.
Thanks so much for eggs printable, saves me using stencils. Will get hub busy cutting pieces to make this arrow, will hang in Kitchen with all my chicken stuff. Your arrow looks great, perfect farmhouse kitchen chicken decoration.
