Hola amigas, time for our monthly DIY blogger challenge again...Yipeeeee
Each month a group of us bloggers have a different project challenge to come up with.
This month we had to make something using Spindles, Moulding or Trim.
This door leads to the garage. I really love how the sign adds
character & personality to that little space.
I decided to make an "ABOVE THE DOOR SIGN"
character & personality to that little space.
Here is a quick & easy "HOW TO"
for the "Latitude & Longitude Sign"
I went to Home Depot and purchased an already cut,
3 foot piece of wood trim for a couple of bucks.
3 foot piece of wood trim for a couple of bucks.
I had some of this "Weathered Wood Stain"
by Varathane sitting in the garage.
I rubbed the stain on with an old cloth, rather than using a brush,
because I wanted a WASHED look instead of solid gray finish.
I used my Cricut machine to cut a stencil with the numbers
I needed for the Longitude & Latitude coordinates.
However you DO NOT NEED a fancy machine for this project.
You can purchase stencils with letters and numbers at any craft store.
To find out your coordinates, you can use THIS SITE,
simply type in your address.
I added a little moss heart in the middle, for some detail. It's a little
Styrofoam heart I had in my craft stack, I simply glued some fake
moss onto it with my glue gun. EASY!!!
What do you think?
My favorite part of this challenge each month is to see what my partners in crime came up with!!!!
So please visit my awesome blogging friends below,
for some more goodness!

ReplyDeleteIt looks just perfect in your mudroom. And the moss heart is a great added touch! ;o)
ReplyDeleteI love your longitude/latitude sign. My husband made one for our entry by painting it on a piece of driftwood we found on our beach. Something like this is special because it is so personal.
ReplyDeleteThanks for Sharing Your Cup!
Very cute idea! I've seen pillows but never a sign
ReplyDeleteJenna
