I know it’s not even Thanksgiving yet but I have been working on Christmas stuff already! I didn’t do much for Thanksgiving this year, I wore myself out with all the Halloween stuff I did! lol

I saw this in the Pottery Barn Catalogue and loved it but knew there was no way I would pay $149 for it. PB is now out of this item but I made my own anyway!!  

First I found the lettering I wanted to use, printed it out, then traced it out on plywood. Edward cut it out for me. I painted it Valspars Fired Earth (which I am also using for our stair railings). Then I decided to use some brown glaze on it. I used a lint free cloth and blotted it on. I did this 3 times. It takes a couple of days for the glaze to dry in between. It’s not nearly as big as the one at PB but I love it just the same. I might make a larger one for next year-I am thinking of doing it in silver though. :)

Have a great day!
