Dog lovers are pretty easy nuts to crack when it comes to Christmas.
Anything for their furbaby and they are over the moon.
I was cruising the internet looking for inspiration
and saw this cute idea on Hometalk.
An adorable sign
and so true too!
I created an assembly line and went to work.
I bought some 1x8 boards and cut them into
12' lengths.
Painted each board with brown acrylic craft paint and let dry.
I put a coat of white craft glue on each piece and when it was tacky to the touch......
put a quick coat of white craft paint over top. As it drys, it will crack for an aged look.
With Microsoft word I printed the lettering using the comic sans font and added a couple of hand drawn dog paws on the bottom. The words were traced onto the frame and then handpainted with some black acrylic paint.
I ripped a 1x8 board into 1 1/8' wide strips to use for the frame
The sides were cut first measuring the exact length of the board.
The top and bottom were cut to overlap the sides.
The frame pieces were pre-painted and air nailed and glued around the perimeter of each sign
An eye screw and wire were attached to the back for hanging.
Woof!
That means Cheers in dog talk.
Being in the midst of this crazy renovation, I probably won't be back until February.
To all my Bloggy friends:
I wish you a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy Holidays
and most of all World Peace!!
All the best in 2016!!
Cheers!!
