WHAT YOU NEED:
1 long wooden plank
white paint
orange paint
brown paint
large sentinel letters
medium sentinel letters
sand paper
round paint brushes
medium paint brush- I used this one
thin paint brush
This project is really easy and turns out super cute! I got this piece of wood in the ‘sale’ section next to the wood cutter at Lowe’s. At the time I had no idea what I was going to use it for, but it was so cheap that I couldn’t pass it up. Thanksgiving has always been on of my favorite holidays, so when I realized I didn’t have a decoration for the front porch, I decided to make something. For me personally, I love arts and crafts and making things on my own versus buying something at the store. For this project, I got to spend some time with my pups on the porch on a perfect fall day; for me the definition of perfection! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
STEP 1: Sand down wooden plank
STEP 2: Paint board white with medium brush – 2 light layers to get the distressed look
STEP 3: Use medium stencils to spell out the word “GIVE” and paint with round brush (dabbing gets the job done the cleanest when using stencils)
STEP 4: Use large stencils to spell out word “THANKS” again using round brush
STEP 5: Once completely dry, use small brush to touch up any areas
STEP 6: Sand edges of the board to complete the distressed look
