Friends, I will say that this post jumped out of nowhere for me! I've been out of town on a blogging trip to New Orleans with Folgers Coffee. I had hoped to complete this month's Thrift Store Decor post before leaving, but it didn't happen. 

I knew what I wanted to do and luckily it all came together fairly quickly. That's what is so great about most thrift store projects…..they are usually simple and not too time consuming. 

I purchased this random board for .99!

piece of wood

It just screams…..turn me into a sign!

You will need the following items: (affiliate links included)

  • Board cut to size (mine is 24″ X 7-1/4″)
  • sanding block
  • white spray paint
  • Joyeux Noel printout
  • black craft paint
  • craft paint brush
  • computer printer
  • Clear gold glitter craft paint
  • Spray sealer
  • oil pastels

I lightly sanded the board before spraying with 3 coats of the white spray paint. Then I gave it quick light sanding after it dried.

Watch this Facebook Live of me explaining the process!

I decided to distress the board slightly before painting the letters.

You can find more photos of the steps in this post on my NOEL vertical sign.

Print out the Joyeux Noel sign pages with the tree graphic.

  • Joyeux
  • Noel
  • Tree

I trimmed the sides of the tree and the ends of each word and taped together in a row. You'll do this based on the size of your board.

black coloring

Color the back of the pages where the words are. Flip it back over and center on your board.

Also on OSH!  DIY Latitude and Longitude Sign

print out of words

Here it is with the backside colored with black oil pastels. Now it is centered and taped down.

pen

With a ball point pen, trace over your words and tree. This will cause the black oil pastels to transfer onto the board as you trace giving you a form to paint.

words

Here it is all traced! No need to lift up the paper to check. It will transfer. If you move it, you risk not taping it back in the correct space.

letters on a board

Remove the paper and you are left with the oil pastel transfer.

letters

I like to use the same color or similar oil pastel as the paint that I am using.

black paint

I use a round brush to color in my lettering. I did 2 coats.

noel

black tree

After the black paint dried, I painted over the tree with the above mentioned glitter paint. It adds just a touch of sparkle to the otherwise rustic sign.

I think it took the longest to center the paper on the board!

    So cute! Of all my DIY projects, I still haven’t done a sign yet, and I love the idea of using oil pastels to transfer the design. Enjoy New Orleans and the coffee!

Instagram post 2192570162787751202_206981062 Last week was fabulous with my 2 Clemson Tigers home for Thanksgiving. The house is all quiet again and busy cleaning after the festivities. This hot chocolate bar was a big hit and got lots of use. I think it will stay just like this through the month and maybe all winter minus the Christmas decor of course. Loving my plaid indoors and out. You can find all the details on the blog by visiting my link in bio @oursouthernhome

Instagram post 2191497719050492016_206981062 I am so blessed to have a fabulous "light girl!" 👧She installs the string lights for me and I let her do what she wants. I had to reign her in a bit this year! Any guess who my installer is? I'm going to shoot some nighttime photos as soon as my new window candles come in this week. My electric ones are so old that 1/2 wouldn't work. I ordered some battery operated ones from Amazon. Any exterior lighting tip you'd like to share? You can tour the porch with my link in bio @oursouthernhome 🎄 •

With the help of @ZAlexanderBrown I created this simple wine bar that's perfect while Thankgiving dinner is being prepared. Light munchies will keep folks satisfied before the big feast! The only things that I prepped were the veggies and fruit kababs. I am all about the ease of entertaining, but making it look amazing with the presentation. Scroll to see more.
