Step 1) I started out by sanding the wood pieces.  Then I applied a coat of black chalk paint. 

Step 2) I created a stencil and cut it out with my Silhouette Cameo. Get your free image by clicking on the image below (personal use only). I created this JPG file so you can adjust the size as appropriate.Then I applied the stencil and painted it with white chalk paint. Once this dried I gave it a good sanding to give it a rustic aged look. Finally I placed it on my shelf.  I can’t decide which one I like better.
