And the winner of Ana White’s The Handbuilt Home book giveaway is:

Jennifer Marie T.

Thank you to everyone who entered the raffle, I hope Jennifer gets her build on with all the inspiring projects in Ana’s book.

Here’s how to make the scripture sign:

1. Cut plywood to size (this sign is 41″l x 11″h).

Paint background color, I used Benjamin Moore ocean city blue.

2. Print letters to fit and tape in place on wood.

I used Universal Accreditation font at 300 point, condensed 3 point.

3. Using a ballpoint pen trace outline of printed letters leaving an indent in the wood:

4. Paint on and inside the indent:

5. To give definition and depth add a dark grey shadow:

6. Distress edges, apply Minwax golden oak stain.

Seal with clear satin poly.

7. Add two sawtooth hangers at equal ends on back:
