My Sweet Things

Happy New Year everyone! Time has flown right by over the last few weeks. Two posts for me in December? Lame. I’m working on several posts and hopefully you will be seeing more of me in the next few weeks. Now, to start back up, I want to share a Thank You sign I made for my son’s wedding back in October. I waited on this post until we received the photos back from the photographer and then I wanted to make sure everyone received the Thank You cards in the mail before I shared as to not ruin any surprise.

I came across a wooden “Thank You” sign on the Weddingbee site. I saved it in my Pinterest Wedding Board and headed to JoAnn’s to pick up the simple supplies needed for the project. Take a few minutes to follow along as I show you the easy steps to make a wooden Thank you sign.

I bought two wooden plaques in different shapes and primed them. You can find these at your local craft store.

I then spray painted them with Heirloom White. It’s one of my favorites!

I used my Cricut Calligraphy Collection cartridge and cut out the words. I think these letters were 2 or 3 inches. I played around a bit to get the right fit. Terrible photo I know but you get the idea!

I used Scotch Tacky Glue to glue on the words. I like this glue the best as it has a thin applicator tip and makes a perfect thin line.

I used my trusty friend Mod Podge and applied a layer across the entire front side, back, and sides of the wood to seal the letters and add a layer of protection. So are you ready to see the final project?

Here they are! Photo credits to Tillman Branch Photography.

This is photo we used for the post wedding Thank You postcards we created using Vista Print! I am so happy with the results. They were very easy to put together and very inexpensive. Total cost for me? $8.00 as I had the spray paint and Mod Podge on hand. The small wedding details are my favorite. I hope this inspires you as you plan your events!

I will be linking up to some great parties this week. There is so much inspiration!
