Broom Parking Sign

- October 04, 2015

The last time you were here, I shared how to make a witch broom. Since the brooms were going to be parked on my front porch, I needed a sign:

In a few easy steps, you can make the same sign. I must be honest, I thought this project would involve my new jigsaw, but we just happened to have a piece of wood that was the perfect size - stay tuned for a jigsaw project at another time.

Here's what I did:

Two holes were drilled and the board was given 2 coats of exterior house paint. While that dried, I printed the words and

'colored' the back of the letters with a pencil:

I chose the placement of the words and taped them down with blue painters tape. Using a stylus, I traced the letters onto the board.

The board looked like this:

Using a small paint brush and black craft paint, I painted the letters.

After distressing with sandpaper and spraying with a sealer, I added the wire for hanging.

The sign is done!

The next step is to decorate the front porch. Be sure to stop back to see that final step. I hope you'll follow The Apple Street Cottage and never miss a post.

Have a wonderful week!
