I used old fence to make this wood sign and then added hooks along the bottom for my keys. I had another plan to decorate a key holder until I came across how to use your home printer to transfer letters to wood on Pinterest. I had to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was.
First thing I did was build the sign. I used three pieces of wood fence and two pieces of scrap wood for the back. I nailed them together and lightly sanded the wood.
I first saw this tutorial for transferring letters to wood on Pinterest from Upcycled Treasures. I printed the saying I wanted to use with my ink jet printer in reverse. Place the letters face down on the wood. Instead of using a brush to wet the paper I used a damp sponge. I think it allows a little more control to how wet you get the paper. If you get it too wet, the ink will run.
Working small sections at a time, I used the cap of my sharpie to rub the back side of the letters, transferring the ink to the wood.
After I finished transferring, I filled in the letters with sharpie markers.
My fence wood was a little old and blah, so I used a natural colored stain to bring out the wood grain.
I drilled small holes for the hooks. This wood was very old and dry and I didn't want to take a chance of it splitting.
The last thing I did was add some hardware to the back so I could securely hang it on the wall.

I've been MIA for the last few weeks here on the blog and if you follow me on Instagram you know why. I've been busy stocking my Etsy shop! Tis the season for warm and cozy crochet accessories! Yup, I'm getting ready for the chilly weather and the holiday season.
I just finished this adorable monster hat for a friend of mine. There's no real pattern I can provide because I just winged it. Basically you pick any style hat. I went with an ear flap hat, then I just added random details to the face. Monster hats are so cute and such a cool accessory with Halloween right around the corner!
Here's some of my latest Instagram posts. You even get a peek at my next blog post. I'm working on a reclaimed wood sign!
