Remember that barn demolition we did earlier in the fall? (post here) You wouldn't believe the number of people who were clamoring for my barn wood, all wanted to know what I was going to do with "all that wood." Well true to my re-purposing spirit we are planning to use the wood for a new pigeon coop, chicken coop and hopefully someday a new horse stall, but I also wanted to snag some pieces for a few craft projects. I am waiting on hubby to teach me to use his miter saw so I can craft with ease (while not cutting off any of my own limbs) but in the mean time I saw something on pinterest that caught my eye...
It looked easy enough and I sure did like it. I often see ideas on pinterest or other sites and I don't necessarily copy them exactly but I do like to get ideas. Here is the one I saw on Pinterest, here is my rendition:

It cost me a whopping $7.25 to make (it would have been less but I had to buy a whole bottle of wood glue since I was all out). The letters were 40% off at Hobby Lobby so they ran about .75 each and I already had some black craft paint and leftover lacquer from some of the other DIY projects I've been into lately (post here).
It was a super easy project as I just painted the storebought letters and used the wood glue to put them in place...voila!
