flatrectangular piece of sun-washed driftwood
black craft paint
small paintbrush
paper
pencil
small cup hooks
natural twine
tthumbtackor other mounting hardware
Instructions
Clean the driftwood by brushing all the sand off.
Practice your lettering on a piece of paper. Sketch the name of your choice onto paper to help figure out the letter shapes and spacing.
Using a pencil and the paper sketch as a guide, duplicate the lettering onto the driftwood piece.
Once you’re happy with the penciled lettering, paint over it with a small brush. Go slowly and use thin lines for the first pass.
Fill in any light lines and “thicken” any of the down-stroke lines with the paint.
Once dry, attach two hooks to the top of the driftwood sign. Tie the twine through the loops creating an upside-down hanging “V” shape. Hang on the door by placing a flat-head thumb tack in the top of the door.
