They are 3 bucks each. Which isn’t bad….but I knew there would be a 50 off promotion if I could wait long enough.

Gold Foil Gracie Moon Alphabet Stickers

Silver Glitter Alphabet Stickers

I started with primed cedar from Home Depot. It is about 1 1/2 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. OOOOhhh, and about 10 feet tall.

Shot it all together with a brad nailer… and added a few small pieces for support in the middle.

Silver Glitter & Rhinestone Letter Sticker

Craft paint color, Trail Tan,  with about a cup of hot water in a spray bottle. With my sign standing straight, I watered the entire surface to simulate rain, or dust…or something like that.
