I am thrilled to be participating in this blog hop featuring DIY Christmas projects. I knew right away that I wanted to make a PB inspired Christmas wall art.
This HOLLY JOLLY SIGN WALL ART from Pottery Barn was the inspiration for my wall art.
My wall art was made with 1″ x 2″ boards for the frame and 4″ x 1/4″ boards for the slats.
I wanted the corners of the frame to be mitered, so I used my Ryobi Miter Saw to cut 45 degree angles on the 1″ x 2″ pieces.
After the frame pieces were cut, I ran them through my Ryobi Table Saw set up for dado cuts, creating a groove to slide in the 4″ x 1/4″ boards.
I wanted my wall art to have an old, rustic look, so I didn’t worry a lot about any gaps or imperfections in the wood.
I used a rubber-tipped hammer to tap the slats into place.
The frame was attached together at the corners with wood glue and the Ryobi Airstrike Narrow Crown Stapler.
Now that the board is fully assembled, it’s time to paint!
I chose to spray paint the entire assembled board with several light coats of a deep red spray paint.
I designed the word art in Silhouette Studio® and cut out the word shapes on removable vinyl.
Once all of the vinyl words were in place, I painted over the entire board with an off-white latex paint.
While the white paint was still wet, I carefully removed the vinyl so that the words would be the red background color.
Lastly, I lightly sanded the entire board and then using a dry brush, lightly brushed over the red word art to give it an aged appearance.
Now head on over to see what my DIY friends have made!
