Aloha Sign
You’ll Need
- One 1″x 4” piece of wood (or cardboard)
- One 1″x 2” piece of wood
- Dark brown wood stain
- Small nails
- Assorted paints
- Stuffed parrot
To Assemble
- Cut the 1″x 4” piece of wood into five equal pieces. Using two of the pieces of wood, cut one end of each of the pieces into a point. Set aside.
- Cut the 1″x 2” piece of wood into two pieces, one measuring 54” high. Discard the smaller pieces of wood, keeping the 54” piece to use as the base/stake of the sign.
- Mix the brown stain with a few tablespoons of water and rub all over the pieces of wood using a rag or old cloth. Allow the wood to dry.
- Paint beach-themed words and images on the larger pieces of wood. Include sayings like ‘Aloha’, ‘Cold Drinks’, ‘No Sharks’, ‘Beach this Way’ etc.
- Using nails, affix the painted signs to the 54” piece of wood, in a haphazard manner, leaving at least five inches of the stake at the bottom.
- Press the sign into the grass or garden and rest the stuffed parrot on top.
