Hi everyone! Every year at this time I make and sell canned peppers. I wanted to make a trade sign to set up at shows where I sell them. Follow along with me and I'll show you how I created this.
Supplies:
Proxxon Super jig saw STS/E
Proxxon Longneck Angle Grinder LHW/E
Proxxon Chop and Miter Saw KGS 80
Proxxon Belt Sander BS/E
1/2" plywood
Trim molding for the frame

Mod Podge
Wide brush for applying glue
First, I created my picture. I took a picture of my jars of peppers then asked ChatGPT to turn it into a vintage trade sign. After tweaking and I was satisfied with my results, I had it enlarged at our local photo shop.
Next, I used Mod Podge to glue it to my sheet of plywood. Let Dry
When it was dry I used a ruler and marked about 1/4" out from the photo. Using the Proxxon Super jig saw STS/E, I cut it out on the line I had just drawn.
After cutting it out I smoothed the edges a little using the Proxxon Longneck Angle Grinder LHW/E.
With edges now completely smooth, I now put molding around the edge to frame it in. I Measured each side and cut the trim at 45-degree angles with the Proxxon Chop and Miter Saw KGS 80 so it would look like a picture frame.
