Supplies:

*Piece of wood- I got mine from Hobby Lobby and it was 9.5 x 48 in.

*Waverly Chalk Paint-Pumpkin and Agave are the colors I used.

*Galvanized HARVEST banner-Hobby Lobby

*Paint brush

*E6000-grab this here with my Amazon affiliate link.

*Sanding block-optional

I started off by painting my whole board with my agave color. I let that sit for about 5 minutes and then I painted over that color with my pumpkin color. I like to start with my second color before my first color is completely dry as it helps the 2 colors mesh together more. I wanted some of the agave color to show through so I just brushed lightly over it with my pumpkin paint. Once my paint was dry I used my sanding block to distress it and make a little more of the agave color to show through.

Next, I used E6000 to adhere my harvest banner on to my board. Be sure to use plenty of E6000 on your letters. Remember, it takes E6000 a full 24 hours to cure so be patient. I recommend using this instead of hot glue for any project that will be used out doors as it will withstand the heat or the cold. I chose to leave the jute twine on my letters but you could certainly take it off if you if you choose.

Once I had my banner glued on I decided it was still missing something. I simply took some jute twine and wrapped it several times around each end of the board, securing with staples.

I do recommend spraying your finished project with a clear coat if you plan on using the sign outside to help it last as long as possible.
