PB Knock Off

So, I came across these adorable yard signs in last month's Pottery Barn and loved them! However, I wasn't too crazy about spending $49.99 + shipping on them. What's a girl to do? I know!!! Make my own!!!

One beautiful 70 degree morning my little lady and I took a walk to Lowe's and bought some wood. The wood for my sign measures 10" x 14", and Lowe's even cut it for me! I also purchased a skinny piece of wood to hold my sign. I already had enough acrylic paint at home to mix up some colors for decorating.

I used an electric sander to smooth the edges.

I decided to make the chick sign. I just mixed a little blue with white, and painted the entire piece of wood.

Next, I just stenciled "Egg Hunt" onto my sign.

 Add your chick!

I used a q-tip to add the white dot border. I didn't have the "proper" paint brushes so I had to get creative!

Add, the shell, arrow and some more dots.

I used some of my Distress Ink on the edges.

Now that your sign is finished, just add some Gorilla Glue to the skinny piece of wood, set a heavy plant on top and let it dry. 

It's not Pottery Barn, but for only $6.00, it's close enough for me!!
