Peace, Love, Dog!

Using more fence posts as the wood for this rustic sign, I started by painting it grey and white washing it, just as I did for this post.  I used these stamper stencils from Hobby Lobby - they were only 99 cents each and perfect for this project.

Here is how they turned out -

I have a dog, so I was drawn to this project.  Again, it is rustic and simple and I am very pleased with it.  I'm planning on gifting these to some of my friends with pups.  How about you - do you have a dog and are you drawn to canine crafts?  I have a Schnauzer named Denver and he is my little buddy.

Dollar Store Vinyl Signs From Fence Posts

On a recent trip to the Dollar store, I found some vinyl stickers that I thought might make some great signs.  I headed to the hardware store to purchase fence posts - they are rustic like pallet wood but without the hastle of all the nails!  I had the hardware store cut them for me.

Next, sand and paint them -

Paint a few!

Carefully apply the vinyls - smooth out starting in the middle and working your way outward.

Try some other colors too.  For this one, I started with a grey color and then painted white on top to give it a barnwood kind of look.

They look nice and weathered!

Why not do a bunch?

Have you tried using fence boards to make signs?  Do you prefer them over pallets like me?  I will be posting soon about another project using fence boards!
