Today is a Cleaning Day

Today is a cleaning day... so I am going to make a quick post so that I can get back to work!

I wanted to show you a picture of the finished wedding arrow sign I made for our wedding. We put it near the ceremony along the pathway to direct guests on where to go. I think it looks really pretty in front of the white roses. If you want to see how I made it click here.

By the way, two days ago marked our three months of being married anniversary. I can't believe that it has already been three months!

DIY Wedding Arrow

In between writing thank you notes, cleaning the kitchen, putting away gifts, and getting new carpet put it, I wanted to show you a wedding project I made last week. :)

It's an arrow sign to put up at our wedding to direct our guests on where to go. This was a really easy project and didn't take much time. I had a lot of fun making it too.

I started off with just a plain wood sign I bought at Michaels.

I painted the entire sign with some brown acrylic paint for the base.

After the brown paint dried, I painted over the top of the brown with an antique white acrylic paint.

After the white dried, I took a piece of sand paper and sanded it down so that the brown underneath showed through where the wood grains are.

I also bought a set of stencils from Michaels and used them to sponge paint on the letters in brown.

And it was finished! I still need to screw in some hooks in the top and tie some ribbon on it so that we can hang it at the wedding. :) Hope you like it as much as I do! Thanks for reading!
