Weeds 4 Sale – Dirt Cheap!
DH replaced the steps leading to our basement, so I took the old boards and painted a sign for the garden – my "step garden" behind my garage.
DH replaced the steps leading to our basement, so I took the old boards and painted a sign for the garden – my "step garden" behind my garage.
Here are the step-by-step instructions>>>
1. Grab a board, any board. I used an old one with chippy paint – very rustic and not good for much else.
2. Hand draw your wording – you don't have to be perfect. Enjoy a little whimsy and just write it on and paint the letters with black paint and a little paint brush. I saw this saying on Pinterest – by Shelley at Sow and Dipity. She has so many really cute signs.
3. Take some sand paper and rough it up a bit to make it consistently "worn looking."
4. Add a little bit of pizazz – add fun stuff like a piece of hardware made into a dragon fly or hand paint a sunflower or bees buzzing around. I also added a second color to the letters to make it pop.
5. Add a hook to hold a garden tool. I hung my clippers. Hopefully I'll remember where I hung them when I need them next!
There are so many really cute projects on Pinterest and in the blogging world. So often you'll see creations that are exclusive and the artists don't want replicated. But for DIY'ers, we WANT you to take our ideas, we WANT you to ask questions and we WANT to help you create what we have created. There is so much room for sharing and we love to do it. Feel free to ask the "how questions" - that's what we are here for.
Enjoyed the project?
