Laundry sign on Driftwood

Driftwood is beautiful and is free reclaimed 
wood for projects.

This drifted board is one of my favorites. 

I found it on the beach last summer and today I sanded it up a little, then gave it a quick coat of white chalk paint.

To create the lettering on this sign I printed out a font I liked on the computer. 

This font is called Academy Engraved

I scribbled with pencil on the back of each letter then traced over the letters leaving the image on the board.

Then using one of my favorite new things... 
a paint Sharpie, {affiliate link} 

I painted in the letters and the pen made it easy!

When the paint dried I distressed the lettering and the edges with sandpaper.  

A quick coat of dark wax gave the laundry sign instant aging.

I loved it so much I started on a few more!
