A Simply Joyful Sign
JOY is one of my favorite words...
and this easy and inexpensive sign is Simply Joyful!
I used an inexpensive piece of leftover pine and printed out the word JOY using the St. Nicholas font.
I gave the board a white wash using white chalk paint.
When the paint dried I used sandpaper to distress the edges.
Using a very well loved piece of carbon paper, I transferred the word to my board then painted in the word JOY with a Sharpie water based paint pen.
I drilled a hole in each top corner and inserted a piece of wire.
The finished signs are easy, inexpensive, and
fill me with JOY!
So simple, and beautiful. If I had a piece of wood I would definitely give this a try. BOB(B)s
