Built: more personalized striped trugs with handpainted names

Here's how I made the trugs:

2. Construct, sand, prime and paint.

3. Paint 2 coats of stripe color:
4. Remove painters tape:
5. Print out letters.
I used American Typewriter font size 200.
Line up printout then trace letters with ballpoint pen which leaves an indent in the wood.
Paint on and inside the indent.
6. Seal with spray clear poly:
Ready to fill with toys.
