I found a super cute extra large sign on the Pottery Barn website. I wanted to create a scaled down version to be a part of my Christmas decor this season. I found a leftover piece of wood in our scrap pile that we seem to have accumulating in our basement. I grabbed some tan and red paint and some paint brushes to get working.
I painted the board red, and then cut out some letters on my Silhouette machine. I placed the letters on the wooden board.Then went over the entire board and letters with the tan paint.
I wanted the sign to appear rustic and older, so I was not concerned with any bleed through under the letters. I was actually hoping for a little bit actually instead of the paint looking perfect. Then I rubbed some sand paper over the entire piece to make it look a little more distressed.
Here is the sign from PB that inspired my scaled down version for this project. I really love the size of it, but obviously not the price tag.
Thank you so much for stopping by!
I made this too... it was too fun not to! Yours turned out great!
