Happy Friday!!!
It was pouring rain when I woke up this morning - and my three year old had ZERO motivation to do anything other than eat breakfast and watch cartoons for the better part of the day... So I was on a mission to find a fun project to do with things I had laying around the house!
I remembered I had a random scrap of wood in my garage (leftover from the bench I made last weekend) - and it just happened to be the perfect size to make into a fun sign!
It is about 3 1/2 feet long - but use whatever length you want!
I wanted my sign to look a bit more "weathered", so I took a hammer and crowbar to it. It was pretty fun, to be completely honest. Then I threw on one coat of stain.
(Notice the markings from the beating it took... Love!)
Once it was dry, I used a plain piece of chalk to outline what I was going to paint...
Charleston, SC for me
Portland, ME for Anthony
Not going to lie... States are a bitch to draw freehand. If you have a stencil, all the power to you! I wasn't looking for perfection... So what I managed to do, worked for me.
I painted over the outline with plain acrylic craft paint - and once dry, wiped it all down with a damp paper towel to clean up/smudge leftover visible chalk.
I love it!! And hope you all have a beautiful weekend!! xoxo
