This next craft project is inspired by
a vintage sign I have in my closet. It reads "Open Sunday" and I knew this would be a super simple sign to re-create with any phrase. You can make yours vintage inspired, personal or silly! I chose a simple "open" and plan to display this sign in my kitchen since my husband loves his late night snacks. ♥
Here's how I did it: 1. You'll need a piece of wood, Vinyl letter stickers
(I found these in the art section at Michael's), white craft paint and a brush. 2. Brush your paint on. I chose a messy finish with some of the raw wood exposed. Allow to dry and repeat on the back. 3. Cut your stickers out and position them where you will want them. This helps to make sure your spacing is nice! 4. Adhere stickers and enjoy!
Tip-You can add another phrase on the back if you like! 
You can personalize your sign with any word you fancy! It's so simple. I did this project in about 30 minutes. xo. elsie

This would also be great for marking unfinished projects! I could use one of these to signal to me roomie that I really do plan on coming back to the ____ hogging the kitchen table!

Love this! I would be cute to add "closed" to the other side;) My mom would have liked that for her kitchen when we were growing up cause my brothers were in there every hour of the day and night:)
Thanks for sharing!
