Father's Day Gift DIY: Dad Wall Art

With three sons, I know how limiting it is to try to craft something for guys. A majority of craft supplies are geared towards women, with lots of florals, bling, and foil, which not all guys are into. Sometimes you have to make your own supplies. I like to use printable labels from my sponsor, OnlineLabels.com, to quickly and easily make any design I need for a project. That’s exactly what I did to make this rustic sign for father’s day. Since you’re making your own stickers you can easily adapt this to spell a name or any other message you like!
Choose the letters for the name or word you wish to spell, and download them from THIS collection. Leo Reynolds has amassed a gorgeous collection of letters, and they’re free to use for non-commercial purposes. (The link to the letters is in my blog post...see the link at the bottom of the page.)
Download the free template for the OL150 clear labels from Online Labels by clicking HERE. Add your letters to the template and print them out at home. If you want to use the same “dad” letters that I did, you can save the image above. This will print perfectly on the OL150 labels. (Links are in my blog post at the bottom of the page.)
Paint the edge of the wood arrow black. Paint the top surface with the white milk paint. Let it dry.
Gently sand the white paint to give it an aged appearance.

This is a sign that could be used anywhere around your house, porch, workshop, garage—anywhere Dad likes to hang out. I will follow your sites, too. Thanks! ☺️
