Diy Beach Sign
It’s a little out of season for this diy beach sign, but when I ran across the pretty little starfish ornament while shopping for Christmas sprigs and ornaments for a custom wreath that I’m making for a fellow employee I had to buy it.
So of course since I bought it I had to make something and I have been wanting to make something beachy. So I chose to made this quick and easy wood beach sign. The sign was made from an old wood seat from a swing.
Start off by dry brushing a light coat of your turquoise paint. Don’t cover old wood completely, let the wood show through.
Starting off with new wood but want to give your wood an aged look, checkout my wood aging solution.
When you get done your sign should look something like this with some color but with the aged wood showing through as well.
Now add your lettering with your stencils and white acrylic paint.
I didn’t have any thick rope so I used four strands of thinner rope.
I tied knots in it every few inches to keep the strands together.
Then I ran the rope through each end of the swing seat turned Beach Sign and knotted, and trimmed excess rope.
I hung the starfish ornament from a piece of jute attached to one of the rope knots to hold it in place.
That’s it for this easy diy Beach Sign. Ready to hang Next Year (-;

Linda, you are making me long for spring and summer, this sign is so fresh and fun. Love the color and the starfish ornament screams for the beach. I can hear the waves now, take me away!

Thanks Nikki! I sure wish that I had picked up a few more of the starfish when I ran across them looking at Christmas ornaments.

For me, the beach and coastal look is never out of season! It’s adorable!

Thank you Carol! I sure wish that I had bought more of the starfish ornaments. Can’t seem to find anymore like them.

Linda, Try Michaels! I’ve bought some from there before. They aren’t ornaments, but you might be able to work on a way to make it one.

Thanks Carol! I will have to go check it out. Thanks!
