Paint: Be Optimistic sign
I painted this little gem inspired by the graphic below that came to me in a weekly update email from Best Made Co.:
You can also find the graphic on Pinterest.
I must admit I was always taken by this little badge from Best Made Co.:
So I change the background color for fun and added a frame:
The 1″ thick frame makes a great border:
And lets the sign stand on its own, no need to hang:
Here’s how to paint the Be Optimistic sign:
1. Print out graphic. *see notes above about sources*
Paint 3/4″ plywood piece (9″ x 6″) pink, line up print out on top of wood board and trace letters with ballpoint pen:
2. Paint on and inside the indent left behind by the pen:
3. Add 1″ wood trim as frame with 5/8″ wire brads or finish nails and glue:
