Keep The Change

I am in the works of a big project so for my first "real project" post I will post a sign I just made for my Etsy shop!

I keep a jar in my laundry room for coins and random bills that Jefferson leaves in his pockets.

Random bills don't last in my pockets because I always find something to spend them on!

Some days Jefferson forgets to empty his pockets so I figured this would be a friendly reminder.

Here is the AWESOME finished product!

I had a scrap piece of wood in my garage and it measured 14x7.

I painted the wood with some Grey Valspar paint I picked up at Lowes today.

 The first one I did I printed off a piece of paper with a saying I want and traced around the letters with a Ballpoint pen.

You want to press hard enough that you leave an indent in the wood.

I then took a small paint brush and painted within the indentations in the wood.   

After I finished this sign I realized I didn't like  how unclean the lines were so I went and found another piece of wood and started a new sign. :(

Luckily I had a cute little helper

I headed to my computer made a new saying and with my Silhouette created a stencil so I could just paint over the stencil.  Much easier but if you don't have a silhouette or have a steadier hand than I do go for the pen and paper method!

I love how this turned out and hope a lucky buyer finds my Etsy shop and decides they HAVE TO HAVE IT!

I know this shop only has 2 items for sale right now but I promise it will grow! :)
