Ive seen Porch Rules signs all over the internet and just had to make one for myself. After all, I spend countless hours on the back porch when the weather is nice.
Get your hands on an old pallet. This one was given to me by a friend.
I had to disassemble a few boards and reassemble it. Nothing a hammer, nails and some elbow grease cant fix.
Here it is all put back together again.
Sanding is optional, but I went ahead and did it.
Next I painted the boards with some old paint we had leftover... again... FREE.
Next comes the tedious part. I printed out all the words I wanted but in mirror images. Then put the printed side down on your board, wet the paper lightly and rub the paper with the back of a sharpie to transfer your printer ink onto the wood.
You get nice, faint words on your board like this. Next, I outlined the words with my trusty sharpie.
Next, I used a plain black acrylic craft paint and a small paint brush and filled in my words.
Then I had my hubby nail it to the wall on our deck.
EASY, FUN and FREE!
