If you've followed me for awhile, you'll already know I'm a reclaimed wood AND old sign fanatic! So I love to come up with different ways to infuse them together.
Most recently, I felt inspired to create a fun, Christmas themed sign, but wanted it to be a little more than just a lettered up board.
Playing around with some wood scraps, my lazy ways came up with this simple fix, that can turn any plain plank into a cool arrow!
Now I can point to all the fun! Literally...
What would you have your arrow sign read?

Here's how I made it...
Pick a fence, any fence! I'm always on the lookout for fallen down fences. This is the best aged wood you can land!

MAKING THE ARROW
The 2nd board was then cut at a 45 degree angle where measured.
DESIGN IT
Kaboom! Instant, festive, winter fun, minutes later! And it's even pointing me in the right direction on where to find it.
Do you decorate with Christmas signs too?

Phillipcardjr on Dec 08, 2016Yes to your question. I think I will make one too. Using some pallet wood that has been collected . Your sign is Sharp(looking) and we have snow this year. Last winter we had nice green grass most of the time. The friends that purchased the snowman pallet I posted on HT took pictures of the pallet in their front very green lawn.
