Halloween Road Sign

This was a post from last Halloween, but since it is one of my favorite Halloween decorations, I thought I would post it again and share the digital file for the freebie this week.
I brainstormed and searched online to come up with the street names (aren't they clever?). I cut my pallet wood in half and cut an arrow shape on one end. I didn't mark or measure because I wanted them to all look different. I painted one coat on the front and left the edges to finish later.  
I made some stencils with my vinyl cutter,
 
painted,
removed,
and lightly sanded.
I laid out them out on a painted 2" x 4", until I got them spaced and angled the way I liked. I nailed them on with some old rusty nails. I then took some very watered down black paint and quickly painted over the front and edges and wiped most of it off with a wet paper towel. I took it outside, stuck it in the dirt, and piled some rocks around it.
 

 
I love the colors and the fun Halloween fonts. This project was fun and so easy, when Halloween is over, I'm gonna make one for fall!

Come back later for the free digital file to create your own.
