yeah i said it pages home about subscribe my peeps my art on my last nerve homeschooling i m shameless february 18 2014 wood sock sign tutorial hey y all i ve been feeling nesty and crafty this week and i found a few projects to do on pinterest only thing is i had to look at several wooden sign tutorials to get a thorough overview of the process to do one on my own so i brought together the tips i gleaned and created my own tutorial hopefully i don t forget anything here s how i made this sign materials board or boards cut to whatever size you want vinyl alphabet stickers i made mine but you can buy them on amazon or at craft stores ruler acrylic craft paint and a bottle of spray paint i used a satin finish but matte is great if you can find it paint brushes in various sizes paper plate or palette to mix colors optional nails and a hammer for distressing optional clothespins hot glue and a glue gun sawtooth hangers and nails sandpaper a sandpaper block or orbital sander makes life easier sealer of some sort i used a matte spray sealer from walmart step 1 choose a board for your sign based on the space you plan to put it you can use any size board you have on hand some of the missing sock signs on pinterest are large squares or rectangles and some are just single pallet boards my husband used six small pallet boards for this sign he cut them to the size i wanted then attached two boards vertically with a staple gun to the four horizontal boards to stabilize them he then hung a couple sawtooth hangers at the top back step 2 decide what you want your sign to say and create a layout before painting or applying stickers for this sign i used vinyl stickers that i made on my cricut machine i had some letters left over from other projects and i made the rest you can also buy premade alphabet stickers lay your stickers out as you want them to appear on your finished sign you can get all mathy and measure your board to be precise about placement but i just eyed the placement of my stickers step 3 choose your paint colors and get to lettering my house is decorated in a nature theme and i chose brown green off white and yellow for this sign that i plan to hang in our laundry room i wanted the words on the sign to be green and off white and the bird to be yellow i wanted the top board to say clean single i painted that board green with acrylic craft paint and applied the vinyl stickers after the paint dried acrylic paint doesn t take long to dry if you do thin coats the first photo shows my layout after the green paint dried this photo shows how the vinyl stickers looked after i placed them on the top board i decided that the second board would just have and it would be off white so i painted the area where i planned the symbol to go let it dry and stuck the sticker on it i painted the rest of the boards green except for the area where i planned the word mate and the vinyl sticker of the bird to go note i don t recommend painting the entire sign before the spray paint step i advise only painting the areas that you plan to put your letters either leave the rest of the board s unpainted or choose a paint color that contrasts with your chosen spray paint color light spray paint with dark background acrylic craft paint or dark spray paint with light background acrylic craft paint you ll see why in another step my husband used his xacto knife set to create a vinyl sticker of a bird using one of my plastic bird stencils isn t he sweet i made the branch with scissors and a strip of scrap vinyl step 4 when all your stickers are in place it s time to spray paint over the whole thing i know scary make sure your stickers are firmly pressed down without any lumps or air bubbles so the spray paint doesn t bleed under the stickers i used an old piece of cardboard to put the sign on in the garage and i sprayed on two light coats of rustoleum paint in espresso with a satin finish from walmart you can also just use newspaper under your sign spray paint takes longer to dry than acrylic paint does so give it some time it needs to be fully dry before you peel off the stickers you guys i d never done this before i was afraid i d screwed up all that work but i didn t step 5 after the spray paint is completely dry peel the vinyl stickers off and reveal the paint underneath ta da totally satisfying woohoo step 6 if you like your sign s intensity as is skip to step 7 if you like an antique distressed look grab a sanding block or an orbital sander some nails and a hammer play around with the sander on your sign focus more on the edges for an authentically aged look sand over the background and your letters stop sanding when you like what you see if you want to distress your sign lie your nails randomly around the board and hammer their edges here and there it marks up the board you don t have to go crazy with it but it s free therapy yo note see the green showing through the brown where i sanded below notice how the sanding looks nicer where the off white is underneath around the and mate the white paint creates more contrast against the brown spray paint it looks more authentically aged with that contrast if i were making another one of these signs i would leave the background boards unpainted or if they were stained or dark i d dry brush them with a light color acrylic craft paint step 7 place your sign back on your cardboard or newspaper and spray two light coats of sealer this will protect your sign s finish for outside signs you ll want to use something heavy duty like polyurethane and you ll want to wait to apply it until all parts of the sign are done let it dry step 8 paint your clothespins with acrylic craft paint and let dry then apply sealer to them as well heat up your glue gun and glue clothespins to the bottom of your sign with the grippy part hanging down hold in place for 15 20 seconds you can measure for precise placement but again i just eyed mine i glued the off white clothespins on first then decided i needed more all done now go grab your sock singletons and pin them on __________________________________________________ p s i think this is my first tutorial so if i forgot something let me know uniquely crafted by danielle on tuesday february 18 2014 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels my art shameless self promotion february 01 2014 the case of the missing tomatoes a tree guy narrative so fourscore and seven years ago the last time i posted i mentioned a pregnancy tantrum story that my husband wrote down in nature boy s baby book here it go the case of the missing tomatoes by tree guy early one evening i went to taco bell because danielle wanted a couple taco supremes these were always her favorite because she loves sour cream i came home with three for me and two for her just like she ordered i set the bag of tacos on the table and went into the kitchen for drinks next thing i know danielle is yelling about how these aren t supremes idiots they can t do anything right i they aarghh and off she ran to the bedroom crying all the way well there i was standing in the kitchen with two glasses in my hands wondering what just happened i checked the tacos and found that they had just forgotten the tomatoes so i added some tomatoes from the fridge and approached the bedroom after explaining the situation danielle simply said ok and came out and ate her tacos so there you have it my shining pregnancy moment with nature boy and he hates tomatoes i have no riveting taco picture to add to this post sorry to disappoint but i do have a crafty pinterest y one my husband likes to make his own salsa it s really really good better than store bought fo sho he sometimes whips some up for gifts so it happened that we have 5348953408596356 mason jars just sitting around since i am a lady o leisure i spent 534534 hours finding 5456340564064563 things to do with mason jars on pinterest the painted jar above is my first project it reminds nature boy of my grandparents so i call it a win here is the link in case you like it too easy i m going to do a bigger jar next in antique white to hold the flowers that my husband doesn t bring me nearly enough ahem not that he reads my blog i also plan to do this project with silver paint and glitter glitter and this one too craft all the jars uniquely crafted by danielle on saturday february 01 2014 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels being mental my art my peeps january 22 2014 hi blogosphere it s me pregzilla happy 2014 y all i m behind the times i know haven t got my bloggin mojo back and might not ever blame facebook there s actual interaction there it s perfect for attention whoring i m reporting to you today from about mid pregnancy in short less indigestion more bitchiness really i m off my mood stabilizer and down to about half the usual dose of my beloved zoloft most some days i see glimmers of the old unmedicated me it s scary it makes me think maybe i m not as nice and self actualized as i like to think i am maybe it s all medication the crazy s all real though i assure you the good news is in a few more months i ll be back among the fully medicated i am totally believing i ll have another round of postpartum euphoria i had it after having nature boy it was awesome i was walking through walmart whistlin all the while smiling at people in their fuzzy jammie pants not turkey necking anyone just so happy to be a mom which is in sharp contrast to my typical daily interactions right now i posted the following story on facebook but i think it deserves a spot here as well ____________________________________________________ i ve had a few cranky days ain t gonna lie i had my first pregnancy induced food tantrum two days ago over pizza papa john s to be specific i couldn t even eat pizza when i was pregnant with nature boy red sauce but with this new one i want the sauciest pizza i can get i spent 30 lovely minutes planning my frugal online coupon supported order mushrooms onions extra sauce garlic dipping sauce i downloaded papa john s app only to get the pop up that no store delivers to my address what so i called the store and asked the squeaky voiced pubescent boy if they deliver out my way he said yes so i tried again with the app no pizza for you the boy lied lied i say 45 minutes into my meal planning i called again and was told by a different papa john s worker that they only deliver to one block east of my house and that i couldn t get the awesome online deal if i ordered over the phone for pickup i was all that s only one more block i ve been trying to order from you guys for 45 minutes that s it i m not ordering from you bye and i hung up on the poor girl because certainly she has power over papa john s delivery routes and was purposely withholding pizza from me as if that s not bad enough i then refused to call anywhere else or make any pizza related decisions for the foreseeable future i was done but i still wanted pizza so my husband who worked all day his 6th workday in a row had to take over the rustlin up of some grub by then it was almost 7 on a saturday night and pizza hut who is much more accommodating to us country folk was on a 75 minute delivery delay my guys looked at me fearfully could i handle a 75 minute wait finally nature boy broke the tension by saying mom don t hurt me but you are being really high maintenance my husband busted out laughing saying i totally could not get away with saying that to my credit i didn t frog my son or throw something at my husband i was being high maintenance so i laughed and the pizza when it finally arrived was totally worth the wait _____________________________________________________ sadly this pregnancy food tantrum is not my first my husband wrote down my previous pregnancy s pregzilla moment in nature boy s baby book i ll post it here later this week when i m not all up in my hormones i am actually feeling really grateful after 10 years of infertility i never thought i d be experiencing this again it s amazing really the creation of new life is always a miracle but when it happens to someone who has struggled with infertility it s magnified pregnancy is such a normal everyday occurrence for so many people it s easy to lose sight of the wonder of it i love feeling the baby move he s kung fu fighting on a daily basis and i love it i even love my big ol belly here s my latest belly pic please
