 We just made our front porch rule sign using 5 fence pickets and it cost about 8 bucks and we'll show you how we did it right now. What is up a welcome back? Do you like to do it, build it, or make it? Of course you do, that's why you're here and we do this every week. Ask these cool guys down here. This week we're doing another variation on a front porch welcome sign. Well it's really a porch sign, I mean I guess it's kind of a welcome sign. Maybe it's not your front porch. I'm making this for my sister-in-law, my brother, we're going to go for a visit and they have the best back porch ever. I mean you just want to spend your days there so this is a cute little sign to go on their back porch. I think it's perfect for them. We might have a couple of photos of Kim sleeping on that porch. No please do not, please do not show those. You guys don't have to, they're really embarrassing. You guys don't have to beg, beg hard enough, maybe I'll show you. No, they're really embarrassing. Moving on, moving on, moving on. Step one, we're going to gather all of our materials. We needed three dog-eared pickets, boom boom, I think they're like a dollar 70 a piece and then we needed two gothic pickets. Pickets, pickets, fence pickets, fence pickets. These are like a dollar 50 a piece, like all in eight bucks. No shoes, no shop. Gotta wear your shoes in the craft room. Right Kim? I tried to have my shoes on but I, Garrett's about to pull up his saw and I walked right into it just now and it about broke my little toe off so guess what? Hold on, shoes in the craft room. Shoes in the craft room. Ruin in the magic. Ruin. Go, go. Step two, we're going to make all of our cuts. We're just going to cut these dog-eared pickets down to 18 inches each. We're going to have like 10 of them, 12 of them, 11 of them. I think it's 11, yeah. And then we're going to cut the gothic ones down to about about 60 inches. They're going to be behind it. That's what we're going to pin it to. And we're going to do all of that with my pocket saw. Surprise, the pocket saw was down there. Surprise, you never see it coming. I know some saw dust in it. All right, a little sponge 80, burrs and stuff. Now we're going to stain and paint. We use this very thin weather gray for like four of the boards. Four of the boards are just going white. And then we're coming in with a serene, serene, serene. We're going to alternate colors. And this is going to be a horizontally stacked sign instead of the two vertical pickets like we normally do. These are going to be stacked one on top of the other alternating colors. Yeah. All right, let's do it. Have these all stained? Those are all stained, yes. We're doing all sides. They're just one side. Alexa, play pit with me. Now we're going to assemble it. We're going to take those pickets that we cut down to 60 inches and we're going to lay out all those 18 inch pickets that we just painted. We're going to glue them down and then tack them down with a one inch brad. The nail, not the guy. Now if you want to do this with no tools you could do it with original gorilla glue. You just have to wait a couple minutes before you can manhandle it. A couple of hours. Just put something heavy on each of the boards and let it set and you could do it without the nail gun. All right, that's what we got so far. Trippy, huh? I'll do it. Not so fast, not so fast. Making me seasick. Step five. Now we're going to put our words on the boards. We have this giant stencil. I created this 60 inch stencil with each of the different but sayings for each board but it doesn't line up perfectly so what we're going to do is just cut each word so that we can make sure it lines up with the each board in the correct spot. Did I get that out right? I think so. And the plan is to put this stencil in our store as well along with the SVG. We created the SVG for this one so we can put that in our store as well. A podge trick. Seal the stencil. Just a thin layer. The stencil didn't stick to the stain. The stain was a little wet so it didn't stick perfectly so I'm going to use this dabber. I'm going to come in real dry. Hopefully it won't bleed under. Hopefully it won't bleed under. We talked about which one was going to do it. He said, do you want me to do it or do you want to do it? I said do you want to get yelled at or do you want me to get yelled at and he said all right I'll get yelled at. I'll get yelled at. But then I followed up with it's going to look so perfect. Nobody will need to yell. He's such a good sport. I think the trick is super dry. See what we got. It's a little snack. I love it. I'm going to throw some feet on it here in a second. We get a lot of questions about how to get these things to stand on their own. We use some of these elk brackets that we picked up over in the garage organizing area. There's shelf brackets. Shelf brackets. So you just spin it around. Yep we actually use these same brackets for our herb pot. What was it? Yeah the vertical herb garden. Yes. I'll leave a link over here. Yes the vertical herb garden and I'll just tell you that that's been standing on our back porch for almost a year now and it's never fallen over. So they do a great job. What do you think? You like the colors? Would you have used different colors? Let us know down below what colors you'd like to use. I was thinking more of an aqua color like turquoise or something. I'm not always thinking this was really like beachy and you know kind of chill for the front porch. Serene right? It is serene. I guess I want to get it back. Don't forget to subscribe.
