Latitude & Longitude Sign for Above the Door

Hola amigas, time for our monthly DIY blogger challenge again...Yipeeeee
Each month a group of us bloggers have a different project challenge to come up with.
This month we had to make something using Spindles, Moulding or Trim.
I decided to make an "ABOVE THE DOOR SIGN"


for our tiny mud-room area using a piece of trim.
This door leads to the garage. I really love how the sign adds


character & personality to that little space.
Here is a quick & easy "HOW TO"


for the "Latitude & Longitude Sign"


I went to Home Depot and purchased an already cut,


3 foot piece of wood trim for a couple of bucks.
I had some of this "Weathered Wood Stain"


by Varathane sitting in the garage.
I rubbed the stain on with an old cloth, rather than using a brush,


because I wanted a WASHED look instead of solid gray finish
I used my Cricut machine to cut a stencil with the numbers


I needed for the Longitude & Latitude coordinates.


However you DO NOT NEED a fancy machine for this project.


You can purchase stencils with letters and numbers at any craft store.


To find out your coordinates, you can use THIS SITE,


simply type in your address. I added a little moss heart in the middle, for some detail. It's a little


Styrofoam heart I had in my craft stack, I simply glued some fake


moss onto it with my glue gun. EASY!!!
What do you think? My favorite part of this challenge each month is to see what my partners in crime came up with!!!! So please visit my blog post directly with the link provided at the bottom of this post and you can see all the other fun projects.
