I decided that if I'm gonna do another craft show (& hopefully more than that in the future), then I'm going to need some sort of sign that represents my business. It was also kind of inspired by the 8" swirly fun wooden letters that I found at Hobby Lobby. 

I cut 4 identical pieces of wood with my miter saw (22 in. long, and I believe they were 1x5 or 6), then stained every other one with Minwax Jacobean stain and Minwax Red Mahogany stain. I attached them with Gorilla wood glue and stapled the back with a staple gun. I then put one coat of Minwax Polyurethane Gloss finish over all of it.

I spray painted the cute swirly letters with Rustoleum Painter's Touch spray paint (color: Nutmeg). 

I then knew I needed some thin cheap wood scraps, because I wanted to piece together a few pieces similar to the larger pieces I was mounting everything to. I found some cedar shims at Home Depot (they're mainly meant for paint stirring, or door and window installation for leveling material, etc . . .), but they also worked perfectly for what I needed them for. I sanded them and glued 3 pieces together. Then used Elmer's spray adhesive (a temporary bond) to temporarily attach the paper reverse stencil letters. 

Then spray painted them with the same color spray paint, Nutmeg. 

I attached everything with Gorilla wood glue . . . 

. . . and voila! It's ready for the craft show this Saturday! 

I found this old frame at a garage sale for 3 bucks. It was just that - a simple frame, no glass, no backing - nothing inside. Just an ugly old brown frame. But not for long! I spray painted is with a Rustoleum Aubergine Painter's Touch spray paint, then sealed it with a Minwax Polyurethane Gloss finish. I cut a piece of Plywood to fit the frame, sanded it, then painted it with 2 coats of chalkboard paint. I attached it into the frame with wood glue. 

I'm kind of attached to this one. It's going to be hard to let it go! 

This was the smallest of three in a nesting table set that used to be my grandma’s. I simply sanded it lightly, then taped off a tree design with Edge-lock painter’s tape and used a small craft knife to carve out smaller details. I then spray painted the entire thing with a Rust-Oleum navy blue spray paint, let it dry, then peeled off the tape. I put a couple coats of Minwax® Polyurethane Gloss Finish over the top and that was it. Cute little pop of color to add to any room!
