She asked me to make her a sign. Yes she did! I didn't even know she knew what I did LOL!

Scrap Wood Summer Sailboat Ornaments
I'm at it again... summer sailboats made from scraps.
I made these several years ago for a neighborhood craft fair and I'm at it again.
My inspiration for these boats came from our neighborhood beach... I have to admit, we are a little spoiled around here!
Please give it a pin by clicking below!
I dug through my wood scrap box and grabbed every piece shaped like a triangle.
You can read the whole tutorial from last time here.
It is almost time to think about Christmas and sailboat season is waning but these are perfect for the sailboat lover in your life.
Just let it be said, you will want to check these out because they are so simple to make and come out so great.
