Tonya at Love of Family & Home included a little DIY artwork when designing her summer mantel. Tonya got her dad in on the project by having him construct a square frame with wooden slats running across the front. Next up was painting. Tonya coated cream colored paint on top of brown, sanded the edges, and the hit it all up with some antiquing medium. Last up were the sayings, which Tonya cut out of cardstock. I’d say those are some pretty wise words to live by!
Tonya’s artwork was inspired by the Slatted Signs from Sugarboo Designs.

You could actually make one of these for the garden by using a wood pallet that you can get for free at a lot of places...lean it against a fence or trees...
