Once I saw this awesome road sign made by Angie over at Burton Avenue, I was instantly in love!

Look at those colors and fun fonts!
I love Halloween.
Yup, I’ve said this before!
Anyway, Angie’s inspiration came at the most perfect time because I had 4 scrap pieces of wood, left over from another project that were still laying in our yard like this….{x’s 4}
And Halloween is just around the corner and all!
I started this project by pulling out our Miter saw and googles.
I cut each piece of wood into various lengths and made a “point” to one end.
I went through my collection of paints, chose some fun Halloween-ish colors and painted each piece of wood. Then painted once again to ensure the wood was covered.
Next I used my Cricut to make my stencils. I used different fonts and sizes just for the fun of it!
Once all of my names were on my boards, I painted over my stencils using white or black paint depending on the color of the sign I was working, I wanted the names to “pop”.
Once the paint was semi dry, I pulled away my stencils and the words did indeed “pop”.
After the words were completely dry, I decide to sand over the entire piece to make the sign look worn and weathered like this…
And this…
I found an old broom handle and attached each sign to it in various directions.
And here is my finished Halloween road sign….
I didn’t want to completely copy Burton Avenue so I made this sign to fit our home, and our upcoming Halloween party!
Thank you for sharing your awesomeness Angie! Love your blog and I hope you don’t mind that I’m a copy cat!
I just couldn’t resist!!
Happy Halloween!
