Craftsy ‘Cause I Can: Mini Sign Stand

Ok, the inspiration for this project actually came from Jessica over at Me and My Bucket.  She made the cutest sign that she took to a boutique.  I love, Love, LOVED it!  Although, I don’t have that kind of space for a sign.  Three feet tall, seriously, where would I put that…?  And our storage unit is becoming overfull with “when we get our own house” items.  My Mr Right told me to stop buying stuff for a house we don’t have and put the money toward the house… probably a good idea, ok I know he’s right… but don’t tell him I admitted to it!

Anyways, back to the point.  I wanted one, but not one of these.  Confused?  I love the idea, but it’s just not practical for us.  Maybe one day, but for now… This is what I came up with to fill my need for such a super cute sign.

My Mr Right was the brains behind this operation.  And because of such I can’t really give a good tutorial.  I don’t know all the technical names for all the hardware and the wood.  The sticks were dowels (a square one and a round one), the platform was a pre-cut… thing.  I found it in the lumber section at Home Depot.  My Mr Right drilled a hole in the base, shaved down the square dowel and then it fit perfect.  See how technical I am…?  Then I used hooks and eyes to attach them.  The sign was a pre-cut plank that I can probably get 3-4 more signs out of.  What I like the most………… I can make different signs for different times of the year!  Next time maybe I’ll ask more questions and learn the names of things.   Here’s a whole bunch of pictures, in case you’re so inclined to try and figure this out.  Sorry for such an awful tutorial on this one! 

If you would like to purchase a sign similar to this one, please email me and we can discuss the details.
