So this is a different lazy take on the  painted board that are out there.  I needed something fast and low cost for a cute little friend gift.  I love painted signs but just thought they would be too time consuming. So I tried my hand at spray painting. I know weird but I think it turned out rather cute.

I started with our left over wood flooring I bet it would be just as cute with fencing or pallets or what ever scraps you can find. 

 Then they all got a coat of white spray paint and a light pattern from a stencil I purchased to paint my walls with (which never happened by the way)  I didn’t hold it down or mask off any part of it,  Its very rustic and messy and I think adds to the home made charm.

I have a silhouette and I really need to use it more, but I’m not very familiar with it  so I just cut out a stencil from cardboard with an x-acto knife. tying to keep it old fashion all the way around. 

I then spray painted the word JOY on the boards.  I did one letter at a time and because I was doing a few of these and by the time I did one letter on each they were dry!!!! gotta love spray paint!

 Then I just hot glued one of my junk bows to the top and done!  Supper easy and looks pretty cute for a few hours and a can of spray paint.  P.S. the floor that its sitting on is the flooring I used how cute would the signs be if I had had time to stain them like I wanted to and paint the JOY in white.  o-well there is always next year
