Pottery Barn Knock Off- Noel Sign

I was thumbing through the Potter Barn catalog and saw this adorable Noel sign. But the $150, was a major turnoff for something that will sit in my house for roughly 30 days. I have seen a couple of knock off versions in DIY blogland and decided to make my own version.

This is from PB online

I went to Hobby Lobby and bought the chip board letters. They were 50% off! Yahoo!

I hot glued the letters together, making sure the "O" was wonky and reinforced the back with some small wood chips I made by breaking a Home Depot paint stir stick. Hey, use what you have!

When the glue was dry, I whipped out my Rustoleum Hammered spray in Dark Bronze, to give the letters a similar finish as the PB sign.

Here is the finished product!!

Project cost:

4 letters from Hobby Lobby- $1.00 each (they were 50% off) = $4.00

Hammered Paint - $7.99 (but I was able to use it on a few other projects) = $7.99

Total Cost = $11.99

Sure beats $150.00 + shipping!!
