DIY Direction Sign

Another inexpensive project we took on (and by we, I mean Alan, cause I have to give credit where credit's due, and Alan did all of this project) is a sign to let our guests know where to turn to get to the wedding site. We literally just got the most cheap piece of spare wood from our local hardware/lumber store. Alan went to town on it with a hammer to bang up the edges a bit. We painted it a barn door red type of color and then Alan chipped away with a screwdriver and hammer. 



The great thing about projects like this is that it's not meant to look perfect. It's supposed to look rustic. I bet the finished result would have looked even better if we had done that technique where you paint over dried Elmer's glue to get that weathered paint look. Alan also drilled holes and hung the sign with some twine we had around the apartment. Here's the finished result from our big day!
