Answer:
of your MDF board, the size will depend on how big you want to create your sign. As you can see in the first photo, we cut in on one side of the wood, this is so that when we put the MDF board on top, it will fit flush with the wood frame. DIY Framed Calligraphy Sign.
Step 2: Paint the board. Once all of the wood cutting is finished, begin painting your MDF board. I went with some leftover while eggshell paint. I would recommend painting the board with water-resistant paint so that later on you can erase any pencil marks without the paint bleeding (I used Behr paint from Home Depot). Also use a paint finish that isn’t so glossy, or else the board will pick up noticeable glares when hung on the wall. DIY Framed Calligraphy Sign.
Step 3: Apply your wording. Because I’m lousy at handwriting, I printed off a favourite font (one word fit onto one sheet of 8×10 paper). Cut out the word and using a pencil shade in the back, tape word onto MDF board, trace over each letter with your pencil and then begin painting the letter! — I’m officially out of breath typing this whole step!

Step 4: Securing and hanging the board. Using tiny nails, insert into wood around the edge of frame, but behind the MDF board (you can use a hammer too). Using pliers bend them to secure board into place. Next add a saw tooth hook onto the back of the board to hang onto the wall. And that’s it — Hang and enjoy!
