Techniques for painting acrylic signs
Today we are going to talk about printing methods on acrylic sheets, such as acrylic wedding invitations, and acrylic signs for your unique big day. In this guide, we will look at the 3 main printing methods on our acrylic cards. Let’s get started.
There are lots of ways to print on acrylics sheets. But if printing excellently on beautiful and durable unique acrylic wedding invitations or signs, nothing has the versatility, speed, and profitability of using raised Spot UV printing method.

Can you screen printing on acrylic?
Yes, we can do gold, rose gold, silver, white and black screen printing on acrylic wedding invitations. Here is the simple steps:
√ Screen printing or silk screen printing is created by tightly stretching a thin mesh over a frame.
√ A negative of the design is then printed onto the screen to be placed on the acrylic cards.
√ Ink is then rolled over the screen and only the areas that have been printed will allow the ink to come through.
Essentially it can adhere a print to acrylic without air bubbles, creating stunning great visual feel.

Fall DIY Acrylic Sign
Fall decor always comes early and we’ve been seeing halloween in stores for weeks. I’m not totally ready for it (the twins are in grade one this year… that feels way more real than kinder did!) but I am excited to start crafting some decor for fall! This is a DIY I’ve been wanting to try for a while and when I was brainstorming what to create for today’s Seasonal Simplicity fall series DIY… well, these colours were too good to resist!

I really love how this one turned out but I totally cracked it, trying to rush the drying… fanning it aggressively. *sigh* So I’m definitely going to be making another DIY acrylic sign and might even do two at a time so I can try some different things… like maybe a texture instead of ombre! I mean… look at the amazing shine on this sign! And with all the texture from the brush strokes. I’m obsessed. Just look at it in the sun! (I had it outside to pick the sunflowers- ha!)
Anyways… want to see the how-to? AND if you’re looking for more fall DIYs, make sure to scroll down to the bottom and check out all the amazing ones in the Seasonal Simplicity series!
TO MAKE YOUR OWN DIY ACRYLIC SIGN, YOU’LL NEED:
- A piece of acrylic (see note below!)
- Acrylic craft paint (multi surface is great for durability!)
- Medium sized flat paint brush
- White acrylic paint pen
The acrylic can be found a few different ways. You can buy it on it’s own- I’ve bought larger sheets at Home Depot. But for this one, I just bought a cheap poster photo frame and pulled the acrylic out of the frame.
Before you get started, I wanted to give a suggestion if you like the idea of tracing a design you love! I painted the back first and free hand lettered on the front. I couldn’t decide between drawing some leaves and lettering a quote so I left it until last so I could decide BUT if you aren’t into hand lettering like that… trace it! You can print any quote or design you’d like to trace and put it behind your acrylic to trace with your paint pen FIRST. Once that’s dry, then you can flip it over and paint the back.
Okay! Painting! I used four different shades of cranberry to sienna and painted then in an ombre for this DIY acrylic sign. I used the same paint brush and just started with the lightest paint colour, moving to the brightest cranberry. Even though the acrylic is thick, I tried to make sure the changing of colours was gradual by mixing them.
You’ll want to put the paint on really heavy. I let it dry and when I held it up, you could see light through some of the parts that I would have preferred opaque so I did a second coat of thick paint. This time I just put the paint directly on the sign.
Let it dry completely before flipping it over to letter on the front if you didn’t trace on the front first! I used a bullet nib acrylic paint pen and even though I’d planned to thicken up my downstrokes for faux brush lettering, I loved the look of the thin line lettering so left it as is.
This quote is magic. I’ve used it on my letterboards before but I love having it on a more permanent sign to bring out for fall every year! ‘Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall,’ F. Scott Fitzgerald. Isn’t that so beautiful? I love it!
Alright, well that’s how it’s made- super easy with some paint and a cheap picture frame! I’m thinking it would be simple to glue hanging hardware to the back of this or even to drill holes in the top two corners to use small brass nails to hang it. I just leaned it up on my console with all my plants. I’m going to pull it back out to hang in a few weeks once fall actually hits the air (it’s freaking hot here still- ha!).
