"T" is for Thanks

Give Thanks painted sign.



Simple but so meaningful.


A daily reminder, especially for those young ones just beginning to read (and read everything everywhere we go!).


And perfect for Thanksgiving.


Here's how I made the sign:

1. Using a piece of pallet wood lay out the printed letters.
Trace the letters with a ballpoint pen making a slight indent in the wood:


2. Paint inside the indent left behind:


3. Layer up the paint colors: red, brown, black then highlight with off white.

Sand to distress.

Stain with Minwax special walnut.

Seal with satin poly.



The pallet wood has lots of character:


A simple project with a big message.
