At a recent farm market event, my daughter was tempted to buy a cute Honey 4 Sale sign she saw, but I talked her out of it by promising to make one for her. I started with a plain old wooden cutting board that I bought at Goodwill for one dollar.
I started by painting the cutting board a special mix of Paris Gray and Louis Blue chalk paint from Annie Sloan. A light white wash came next, and I rubbed about half of that off with a rag.
I found a bee’s nest along with some bee graphics at Graphics Fairy.
I printed text using the Brittanic Bold font in Word.
Using a Mod Podge transfer method, I applied the graphics to the piece of painted wood. Finally, I distressed it with sand paper and added a final coat of clear wax to protect it.
To hang the sign, I cut a strip from an old coffee bean sack to hang the sign.
Two holes were drilled at the top and I tied small bows after feeding it through.
Before giving it to my daughter, I took a picture of it hanging on my porch.
I may have to make another one for myself!

Love the sign. I have yet to use the mod podge transfer method. I need to give it a whirl soon. I love the chairs too, I want to find some of those.
