I bought a piece of cedar fencing from Home Depot (around $1.50)...
STEP 1:
I found a font I liked just in basic Microsoft Word and printed it out to the size I wanted (I used the "word art" tool). Then I cut out each individual letter and taped it onto the wood.
STEP 2:
Trace around all the letters
STEP 3:
I used black wall paint (it was all I had on hand!) and a small angled brush to paint the letters
STEP 4:
Sand each letter to give it a worn, aged look
STEP 5:
Trim the ends to the desired length using a hand saw so it will maintain the rough, unfinished edges. Then we hung it using picture hooks.
I still need to go over it with some polyurethane so the wood stays this color..I decided not to paint the wood first because I liked how the raw color tied to the finish on the table.
Super easy!
