<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is how I built the smaller Barn wood tote:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>Materials:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 - Pieces of 1/2 in. thick plywood. Cut at: 8 inches high by</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> 14 3/4 inches long</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3- 8 ft 3 in. wide Pine Boards (These boards will be cut at </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> different lengths) I also did not use all of the boards, I had </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> some extra left over from the third board.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 pkg. 1 1/2 in hinge (The one I purchased had 2 hinges. You </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> will need both hinges)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 pkg of 1 inch hook and eye latch</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Stain of your choice</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Paint of your choice</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> 1 1/2 in Brad Nails</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>Tools:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Miter saw</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Table Saw</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Jig Saw</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Brad nailer</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Air compressor</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Palm Sander</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 in drill bit </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Drill</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Stencils for numbers </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">***Note Before I made any cuts to my pine boards, I pre-painted them white, sanded them down lightly, and next stained them to make my tote look like barnwood. I did this before I made all of my cuts because it is easier to do all of the painting, sanding and staining before the tote is assembled. I highly suggest doing this if you are doing a barn wood look. If you would like to see a tutorial on how to make a barn wood look, you can see that <a href="http://www.chalkboardblue.com/2012/12/how-i-built-our-cubby-organizer.html">here</a> on a Cubby organizer tutorial. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Once the 2 pieces of plywood were cut and the handles were cut into them:</b> I also painted, sanded and stained them too at the same time I worked on the pine boards.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Once all of the boards are painted and stained its time to make some cuts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Here is a Picture of all of the Cuts you are going to be making:</b></span><br />

The 3 in. wide pine boards technically measure 2.5 in wide from the factory cut. Do not make any cuts on the width of the pine boards except for <b>2</b> pieces that I will tell you about later. All other cuts of the 3 in. pine boards will just be cut in lengths.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>Cut List:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">From the 3 in wide pine boards you will need:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">4- Pine Boards cut at 14 3/4 in long. Keep the width of the board.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">7- Pine Boards cut at a 45 degree angle at 5 1/2 in. long. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> (The 5 1/2 in. </span><span style="font-size: large;">is</span><span style="font-size: large;"> the HIGHEST point of the 45 degree cut for</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> each of the </span><span style="font-size: large;">slots.) Remember no cuts to the width of these </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> boards also!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZGSKT0IO-2Mm7jLFhPvB7X-1V8mr_8jAlDFEwhoBQw2yEHp0xQ9NPXI3dIgXO7eT6aFViMgnNwcezftOCTxETCoZsct7E_ShIqaPnWHW3FKxB8EpocS4mPO045RFhkbMCW3GO2WyMIyN5/s1600/45cut.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZGSKT0IO-2Mm7jLFhPvB7X-1V8mr_8jAlDFEwhoBQw2yEHp0xQ9NPXI3dIgXO7eT6aFViMgnNwcezftOCTxETCoZsct7E_ShIqaPnWHW3FKxB8EpocS4mPO045RFhkbMCW3GO2WyMIyN5/s400/45cut.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>Now this is the part where you will need to cut the width of the pine boards: :)</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">2 - Pine Boards cut at 14 3/4 in. long <b>AND</b> 1 1/8 in. wide.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> (<b>This is How I did this</b>: I ripped one 3 in. pine board on the </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> table saw </span><span style="font-size: large;"> 1 1/8 in. wide at least 30 inches long. From this 30</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> in. </span><span style="font-size: large;">long board, I </span><span style="font-size: large;">cut 2 boards measuring 14 3/4 in long. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> These 2 </span><span style="font-size: large;">boards will</span><span style="font-size: large;"> be the top front boards of the tote.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>Cutting out the handles:</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I next cut the handles into each of the plywood pieces. (I will say, this was the most time consuming part of this project for me, BUT, I LOVE the handles! They make the whole project. They are just a little stressful. Once you get passed this point, its really just all assembly!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">So you have your two pieces of plywood that you have cut at 8 inches high and 14 3/4 wide:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-zAvC_c-uqnlU8f9rg7WMP8BwpMLWmRZ3iOCqfT5Z3qqOYuCSbcOQALwa4fN8LszlDlqqVlenVy7tKbALrSgPlqh1sMds_pOAyuq-35kbS-qXinTW75vxc4p1SKpLtcQelFul1QOtOnp2/s1600/2barnboards.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-zAvC_c-uqnlU8f9rg7WMP8BwpMLWmRZ3iOCqfT5Z3qqOYuCSbcOQALwa4fN8LszlDlqqVlenVy7tKbALrSgPlqh1sMds_pOAyuq-35kbS-qXinTW75vxc4p1SKpLtcQelFul1QOtOnp2/s640/2barnboards.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">On the long side of the board, I found the center of the board near the top. I measured down from the top 1/2 in. I made a rectangle measuring 3 1/2 in. wide by 1 1/8 in. tall. I next drilled a couple holes inside this rectangle with a 1/2 in wide drill bit so I could get the jig saw blade inside this rectangle to cut it out. Next I cut the rectangle out with the jig saw.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">****Note My handles did not turn out perfect. I did sand them down with my sander and sandpaper. I think even one handle is different in size than the other handle. I just made sure they were lined up as best as they could could be once they were cut so they could be used as handles. So don't get discouraged if they don't come out perfect. As long as they line up when the two boards are placed back to back and you can use them as a handle then you will be </span><span style="font-size: large;">just fine! Now that your handles are cut, you can paint, sand, and stain the plywood to have the barn wood finish.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>At this point, this is all of the cuts you will have made: </b> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">***Notice that there is only 3 slot pieces cut for the right half due to the fact that one of the slots is going to be wider when it is assembled. If you do not want a wider slot, then you will need to cut one more pine board at a 45 degree at 5 1/2 in. tall.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Now that you have all of your pieces ready and the handles are cut. It is assembly time!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Left Side Half Slot Assembly.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Take one pine board cut 14 3/4 in. long. You are going to nail 4 slot boards to your bottom board. Space your slot boards 3 7/8 in between slots and nail them to the top side of the bottom board. This is what the slots will look like nailed to the bottom board.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I nailed my first slot onto the end. I measured over to the right </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3 7/8 inches and nailed my second board.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">From there, I measured over from the right side of the 2nd slot board another 3 7/8 inches and glued and nailed my 3rd board.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Next the last slot board was placed at the end and the left half looks like this.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now that this is assembled, nail these slots to the Back Piece. Take your slots you just nailed to the bottom piece, line them up against your Back Piece. From the Back side of the Back piece, use the brad nailer to secure the slots to the back piece.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Make sure you line up your brad nailer with the slots so you do not shoot nails through that will show in the front of the tote. Your nails want to go into the slots from the back of the back piece. (Again, the pic is from my white tote)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">When finished with that step, the Left side should look like this:</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Now you can do your Right Slot Assembly:</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">For the right slot side assembly do it just like you did the left side, <span style="color: #990000;"><b>except</b></span> you need to make one slot very wide for plates or larger items. I measured the largest regular sized paper plate and made my slot 10 1/4 inches wide. Leaving 2 1/4 in. wide for the last slot. Perfect for straws etc. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now all you have left is to nail your front boards on to the front of the tote for both sides. Take a long pine board cut at 14 3/4 in. long and 2.5 in. wide and nail it to the front at the bottom of the tote.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Next take one of the boards you ripped to <b>1 1/8 in</b>. wide and cut at 14 3/4 in. long and nail that just above the lower front board.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Repeat the last two steps for the <b>Right Half</b> and both tote sides will be assembled. Next you will need to anchor them together with your hinges.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">I turned both tote halves over face down butted right up tight to one another and placed the hinges on the Back side in about the middle to lower region 3 inches down from the top. You can see the placement of the hinges by noting the handles in the picture below. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Once the hinges are placed. The tote should be able to swing open and closed at this point! hooray! Also, my totes do not line up exactly due to the hinges, but they are close enough, so if yours do the same thing, don't be discouraged!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">At this point, do some touch up stain on all of the rough cut ends on the tote such as where you cut the slot pieces at a 45 degree angle and anywhere else you may have un-finished boards showing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">I next swung the tote closed so the back pieces were back to back and chose a place to anchor my hook and eye latch.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I wanted to re-visit on the blog this party today. It was such a fun party to do!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Ava has a couple favorites... Polk-a-dots and Elephants. So we decided to combine the two! Another name for elephants is Pachyderms so why not make a play on words and thus the party Polk-A-Dots and Pachyderms was created!!! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> We had sooo much fun at this party!! I found a lot of things that had to do with polk-a-dots and pachyderms and went to work. First of all the fun started with the invite! When I was working up the invite, I told Ryan, " I just finished the prototype for the invite!" I think it turned out pretty cute. If I can, I like to do the invite in a 3-D version, so this is what we ended up with...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I ordered some cute polk-a-dot boxes and straws from <a href="http://www.shopsweetlulu.com/">www.Shopsweetlulu.com</a>. I made a label with an elephant on it and typed on the flag, Happy Birthday Ava. Printed it on label paper and stuck it on the front of the box. Created another elephant circle and glued it to a straw, created and cut a personalized ticket in Silhouette Studio, created a little polk-a-dot you're invited flag in photoshop and wrapped it around a straw. Filled the popcorn boxes with candy circus peanuts, placed the flags with the fun items on them and we delivered them to some very excited guests!!!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Here's a closeup of the the ticket. I love to type on numbers that correspond to the date of the party.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The day of the party arrived, we set up the Party table... I wanted to do a Hot Air Balloon theme. So this is how it turned out. I found some bigger balloons and nets at a party store and some polk-a-dot pots at Michaels to act as the hot air balloon baskets. I made some mini banners to accent with. I thought it would be cute to tie several balloons around the tummy of the Pachyderm for the middle centerpiece.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This cake is so fun for Valentine's Day…. sooo I thought I would share with you how I made it!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I did Madi's Birthday Party, I attempted an Ombre Rosette Cake. I was very nervous as to how it would turn out and it was sooo easy and fun!! I wanted to share with you how I made hers...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">I first baked my cakes. I made hers in a 6 in. pan.

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I made three different colors of pink frosting. The key here is I made the frosting. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> It works best if you make your own frosting and not use the store container frosting. I don't have an exact recipe. I just start in my mixer a 3-4 Tbl. of butter or marg. Add like 1/4 to 1/2 bag of confectioners or powdered sugar and small pour of milk. Mix it and see how it looks. It will need to be stiff to hold a rosette but not so stiff you cannot squeeze the frosting out of the decorator bag. I adjust the different ingredients if it needs to be thicker or thinner, like more milk to thin it or more sugar to thicken. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> I made my bottom row the darkest pink and then lighter for the second row and then the lightest for the top row. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">I next took the darkest frosting and frosted a dirty or crumb frosting layer.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the next lightest color frosting and did a crumb frosting on the second layer...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello friends in the Blog world. Have you wondered where I've been? Right after my last show, my husband broke his arm. Like really bad!!!! It required surgery. Then we all became ill! Bleck. Thought we were over that and then my Madi became extremely ill with Influenza. This all took place right in time for Christmas!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> So, my life has been crazy. I then next decided to host a Valentine Boutique this week. So if you are able to stop by, do! I'll be back to post some more pics about this and things I've been up to. For now, I'm off to create! </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I designed my "Broomstick parking Only" and printed it out. I cut them out making jagged edges on the sides.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I then cut my orange straws in half or to whatever length I wanted them and hot glued the straws to the back of the signs...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I then made the broomsticks...</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Cut strips of the corrugated kraft card stock 1 3/4 in. wide by 4 in. long.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Using scissors, cut very narrow strips about 2/3 of the way of each strip on the long side to make them have a frayed effect.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Cut your Black and white straws 4 in. each or in half. Place a small dab of glue at one end of the card stock and glue the straw to it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Roll up your strip of frayed card stock with the straw glued in. When you reach the end, place another dab of glue to secure the card stock. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Take a length of twine long enough to tie around the cardstock towards the top portion of the card stock that is not frayed. Pull it tight enough that the bottom ends of the broom start to poke out. Cut left over strings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">6. Using your hands, Ruffle out the end of the bottom portion of the broom that you just frayed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Place them on your cupcakes! Ready for the Party! Enjoy!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I do have to post that I built this bed several years ago, before Blogs were even a thing! As such, I do not have step by step photos of how I built it, but I do have the dimensions and can walk you through it. If you do build this, I recommend reading through this in its entirety before you begin. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Types of Wood I used to complete this bed</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-I used 3/4 in. MDF for the Posts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-I used Beadboard for the Headboard and Footboard = One Sheet total for both</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-I used 1 sheet of lightweight 1/4 in. plywood for the backing of both Headboard & Footboard = One sheet for both total. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-I used Pine Boards that were 2.5 in. wide for most of the trim on the Headboard and Footboard.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-I used Pine boards that measured 4 1/4 in. wide for the top board and side Sculpted boards on the Headboard. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-I purchased some Large Egg & Dart Trim for the Headboard & FootBoard</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-I purchased some Small Egg & Dart Trim for the Top rails</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-I also purchased some various other trim to place under the Egg & Dart Trim on the Headboard.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I made my own small trim to build out the trim on the top rails using my router table. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I used wood glue, brad nails, brad nailer & compressor, miter saw, table saw sander, wood putty, safety glasses, wood clamps and a router to complete this build.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>I made the 4 Posts First.</u></b> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The posts are made out of 3/4 in. MDF.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I made four posts. They are Hollow. For each post, I used 4 boards. I cut all of my boards the same length… 76 3/4 in. Tall or long. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>NOTE for the Widths... </b> 2 of the boards for each post will be wider than the other two. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">2 boards, the top and bottom A. & B. will be cut 5 1/2 in. wide</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 boards, the sides C & D will be cut 4 1/8 in. wide.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a top view looking down into one of the posts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I made a rabbet with the table saw <b>only</b> on the inside ends of the A & B boards, all along the length of the A & B boards. The rabbets are the width of the side boards to lay into, 3/4 in. wide.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Once all rabbets were cut, I glued the side boards and nailed them with brad nails to the top and bottom A & B to construct each post. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I clamped them with wood clamps, filled all nails holes with wood putty and let them dry at least 24 hours. I did this for each of the four posts. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Once they were dry, I sanded down all putty and smoothed out each post. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Once the posts were sanded, I ran all four of the edges of each post through the router table using a cove bit to create a grooved edge.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I made tops and bottoms for each of the posts. The photo below is for the tops. The tops have a double crown. The bottoms actually only have one board.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For each of the tops, I cut out of MDF</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Top Crown</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 square 8.5 x 8.5 in. I routered each of the underside edges on the router table using a cove bit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1 square 7 x7 in. I routered each of the underside edges on the router table using the same bit. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I next cut a square 3 7/8 x 3 7/8 in. to be the drop block to hold the crowns in place. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I centered and stacked the top crown board, the lower crown board, and the drop block. Glued and nailed them together. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>NOTE </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Once the top crowns are done, They are never nailed to the Posts. Same with the bottoms of the Posts. They are made with the drop blocks so they can be taken on and off to provide access into the inner portion of the posts to reach the bolts for the top rails. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">for the <b>Bottoms</b> of each of the four posts, I made only one square, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I cut it the same size as the Lower Crown, 7 x 7 in. wide. Routered the edges with a cove bit and made a drop block also, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3 7/8 x 3 7/8 in. I assembled it like the top, centered the drop block in the middle and glued and nailed it. Again the bottom crowns are not nailed into the posts either. The Drop blocks stop the posts from moving. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I made 4 top rails. 2 longer rails and 2 shorter rails. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For Each of the rails, I built them using a 2.5 in. wide pine board as the base. I next nailed a piece of small Egg & Dart trim. then I took a thin strip of pine board on the table saw that measured 1.5 in wide. I next took that thin strip ran it through the router table using a fancy bit to groove the outside edge to create a piece of top trim and to build out the trim to look like a piece of crown moulding. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are not able to create this trim, possibly you could find some smaller trim to build out the tops of the rails. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The <b>2</b> <b>longer</b> rails measure 77 in. in length. Meaning each of your pieces, the base, the egg & dart and the top trim all will be cut 77 in. long. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The<b> 2 Shorter</b> top rails measure 49 1/2 in. long. Meaning each of the your pieces, the base, the egg & dart and the top trim all will be cut at 49 1/2 in. long.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After each rail is glued, nailed and puttied. I sanded them down. I bought some lag bolts/screws for the ends of each of the rails. Each of the lag screws Do NOT have a head on them. The lag bolts have a screw on one end. This end is screwed into each end of the top rails. The other end of the lag bolt or the bolt part will be used to attach the top rail into the post at the top.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I then placed the beadboard on top of the plywood. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I next cut 4 pieces of 2.5 in. wide pine 32 1/4 in. long</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 of these pieces are placed on each of the edges of the breadboard vertically touching the bottom piece of pine that you just nailed on. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The remaining two pine boards are placed vertically also about</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> 12 3/4 in. apart across the beadboard to create 3 squares of trim. Next place the top piece of 47 3/4 in. pine horizontally across at the top of the pine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once the pine trim was nailed and glued on. I took the router and used a Chamfur bit and routered around the inner edges on the pine boards only of each of the three squares of the pine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This gives each of the three squares a more smooth and finished look. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">from here, you will need to build out the trim. I bought some small trim, then layered the Egg & Dart Trim on top. It is all cut 47 3/4 in. long. I cut some prop blocks, as if I was doing crown moulding and placed it under the egg and dart and extra trim to build out the top of the trims.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I next cut a Top Board. This is laid flat on top of the headboard to cap it off. It is 4 1/4 in. wide pine board. It is cut 47 3/4 in. long. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> (it is placed <b>between </b>the <b>two outer pine boards</b> that are scroll cut with the jig saw as labeled in the photo below.) I will talk about them next. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next I took two pieces of 4 1/4 in pine and cut them 3 feet long in length. I sketched out and made a scrolled pattern on them starting flush at the top and slowly scrolling it down to match the rolls in the moulding. I took the jig saw and cut it down the sketched lines to the end of the board to where it ended up being about 3 in. wide toward the end of the 3 feet long board. Each of these scrolled boards are nailed to the outside ends of the top board and edges of the headboard and to serve as the outside edge of the frame of the headboard. They do not go the entire length of the headboard, but they are long enough to be covered once the mattresses and bed coverings are in place. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">For the Footboard, it is built similar to the headboard, but with a few differences. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I took the 1/4 in. plywood and cut it 47 3/4 in Wide x 23 in. High</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I cut the beadboard 47 3/4 in. Wide x 23 in. High</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I laid the beadboard on top of the plywood and glued & nailed them together to make the base.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I next did the pine trim. I took the 2.5 in. wide pine boards and cut 2 of them 47 3/4 in. long. These will serve as the top and bottom trim.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I took more 2.5 in wide pine and cut 4 boards16 in. long.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I placed one of the trim measuring 47 3/4 in. long horizontal along the bottom edge and nailed and glued it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I next spaced apart the other pieces of pine trim cut 16 in. long across the beadboard vertically and spaced 12 3/4 in. apart. (glued and nailed)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I next placed ( glued & nailed) the last top pine board that measures 47 3/4 in. horizontal so it touched the tops of the vertical placed pine boards. I next routered </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">as I did on the head board around the inner 3 squares of the pine boards to create a beveled edge. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">With the remaining space at the top of the Footboard, I placed the Egg & Dart Trim that I cut 47 3/4 in. long. If needed you could place some other trim also. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Next I made a frame around the entire Footboard. All Pine boards in this frame, lay on their sides as if they are framing in the footboard and are nailed to the outside edges of the footboard.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I kept the plywood/beadboard trim flat on the ground. I took some 2.5 in. wide pine and cut 2 long for the top and 2 shorter for the side ends. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The 2 top longer boards are 49 1/2 in. long</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The 2 shorter boards are 22 3/4 in. long</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I laid each of them on their sides all around the outside edges of the plywood/beadboard while flat on the ground to make it all flush. I next glued and nailed the pine boards all the way around the plywood/beadboard and then it was completely framed in. The longer boards overlap the shorter boards on the ends on the top and bottom. There are NO 45 degree angles cut for the corners. </span><br />

<b style="font-size: x-large;"><u>Access Holes.</u> </b><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I next cut some access holes so we would be able to attach the bed rails towards the bottoms of each of the posts. These are all cut on the INSIDE of each of the four posts. Make sure to cut them on the inside or they will show on the outside of the bed and won't be so pretty. The access holes are approximately 10 in. up from the bottom of the posts. I wanted a longer bed skirt for the bed so that is why the bed rails are up so high off the ground. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We cut the holes with a jigsaw big enough to get your hand into them to tighten the bolts from the bed rails. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">NOTE! Once The access holes on the <b>footboard</b> are cut and the bed rails are attached, they will actually be covered up by the Footboard once it is attached to the posts because the footboard sits lower on the posts than the headboard does, thus covering them up. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now all pieces have been built. I sanded and painted everything. I painted this with a cream color that I had special made to match something else in my home. I then used a Ralph Lauren Glaze that I got at Home Depot. I had them tint with a couple more drops of black so as to make the moulding stand out more. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Once everything was dry, we assembled the bed. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We placed the four posts with the squares on the bottom. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Attached the bed rails to the posts through the access holes we cut. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We attached the top rails to the tops of the posts. To attach the top rails, remember they already have the lag bolt/screws in them. We measured down 3 in. from the tops of each of the four posts where the top rails would go and drilled a hole for the bolts to go through. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>NOTE</b> on each post, there should only be two holes drilled for the top rails and they should be on the inside of the two headboard & footboard posts for the shorter top rails and the insides between the Headboard and footboard posts for the longer top rails. Once the top rails are inserted, anchor them with bolts so they will stay.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><u>Attaching Headboard and Footboard</u></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To attach the Headboard and foot board to the posts, We drilled some holes on an angle through the back of the footboard and headboard and into the posts that they are anchored to. We attached them to the posts with long screws. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you look close on the photo below, you can see the four black screws where we drilled and anchored the footboard. We did the same for the headboard.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">*The measurements where we placed the bottom of the foot board are</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">10 in. up from the bottom of the posts and top of the footboard ends 34 1/2 in. up from the bottom of the posts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">*The measurements where we placed the bottom of the headboard are 16 in. up from the bottom of the posts and the Top of the headboard ends at 58 in. up from the bottom of the post. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For those of you that were curious, here is a tutorial on how to make a Striped Anchor board.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Pretty Simple Supplies…</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1x8 in. Pine board </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">.91 or 1 in. Edge lock Blue Painter's Tape</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">White paint</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Vinyl color of your choice</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Paint brush or sponge brush</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Cut your pine board 10 inches in length. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Tape off your board. I used 4 strips of tape. I spaced them roughly 1 1/4 in. apart. Make sure to come in from the edges 1 1/4 in. Press down firmly on the edges of the tape so there a good lock and the paint won't run into the taped off areas. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I had the opportunity to be the Girls Camp Director again this year! I wanted to share with you some of the fun things we did with this theme… Anchor My Soul in Christ.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Even if this theme were not to be used for a Girls Camp, I think it would be fun to use some of the following ideas for a Nautical Party idea too!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I made this sign from Cedar fence slats and found some thick chip-board anchors at Hobby Lobby. I painted them Gold and bought some rope to wind through them. I found the perfect tree to put the sign on! M-wah!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really liked this theme! So many fun things to do with Anchors. We made some pennant banners out of fabric left over from something we made for each of the girls that I will share with you at the end of this post! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our campsite was perfect! We had some fun little groves of trees that were fantastic to hang our banners on. This area served as a stage for our skits and in the background we put the cubbies I made to serve as a place for secret sisters so the girls could sneak in and deliver their goodies to each other. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We did a Spiritual Walk with them. They went to 4 different stations. At each station they were taught about a certain subject. At the end of the walk they were given a little bottle (get it? message in a bottle), and some paper. They wrote down their thoughts about the walk and their testimony and rolled it up and it was theirs to keep! I found this Treasure Map online and just added my own text to it. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">On each stage of the walk they received a charm that represented what they were taught about. Once they got each of their charms, we later put them on Bracelets for them to wear while we had scones. Yes, this all took place in a nice little drizzle of rain while my awesome assistant was making us Scones!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now for one of the exciting things we gave each of the Girls…To Go along with the whole Nautical theme...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We made each of them Backpacks out of cute Fabric we found at Hobby Lobby! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I took a pattern I have seen on Pinterest, re-designed the pattern to have pockets on the inside as well as the outside too and yes they are lined!! I also designed the pockets to have various sizes to accommodate different items such as sunglasses, water bottles, journals. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So Fun to see the girls using these on their hike and walking around camp with these! We thought they could use these bags once they were home from camp for the rest of their summer and school too!! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I do not have a tutorial of how I made our bags at this time. I patterned mine after this Summer Tote <a href="http://www.thegunnysack.com/2012/06/jcrew-knockoff-diy-summer-tote.html">HERE</a> at the Gunny Sack. The bags I have here are different than hers, I made mine a little bit bigger and re-designed them to have pockets inside and out, which meant cutting my fabric differently at some stages than she did on hers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We tied a tag that was laminated to each of the bags, kind of like a luggage tag. Again this template I found at Creative Market and I added the text...</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to share with you how to make an Anchor Charm Bracelet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is actually pretty easy!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjTJVSCuZhIQeUBJO1KUzsRxtR7nLSe_DCc5UuhPe12WldverEJIkQHGA-aSGd0hrKBnt28sywPxmm2x9RTFYBL5R9yJ3GcPW6_7YjxYZqgCRasTLQexUiOdrMDPLL-WvcxKoiKZMgvD_P/s1600/anchorbraceltitle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjTJVSCuZhIQeUBJO1KUzsRxtR7nLSe_DCc5UuhPe12WldverEJIkQHGA-aSGd0hrKBnt28sywPxmm2x9RTFYBL5R9yJ3GcPW6_7YjxYZqgCRasTLQexUiOdrMDPLL-WvcxKoiKZMgvD_P/s1600/anchorbraceltitle.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Supplies</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Anchor Charm </span>(figure out what size you want first... I found and ordered mine on Etsy) <br />
This anchor I purchased is roughly 1 1/2 in. long.<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Suede Cord (purchased from Michaels)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Clamps</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Jump Rings (split & normal opening)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Lobster Clasp</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">small pliers (jewelry pliers)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First Cut your cording. Cut two different cords, each measuring roughly 5-7 inches in length. Fold each cord in half so it is doubled. They will remain doubled in half and secured that way.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrHLMBVUU7EXy_YjdEx3MTBOBgelxdnny-0AIkPkRR4zA9NS5Lxc21owixCnm4bzbLBwNWs6MuVWia2bRoMRGrY5JYMYe-a-QKb0u1oR4SYRnOWKAKkwDdVwHScdIa8g993BgPOBkvpG8H/s1600/anchorbraceletfirst.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrHLMBVUU7EXy_YjdEx3MTBOBgelxdnny-0AIkPkRR4zA9NS5Lxc21owixCnm4bzbLBwNWs6MuVWia2bRoMRGrY5JYMYe-a-QKb0u1oR4SYRnOWKAKkwDdVwHScdIa8g993BgPOBkvpG8H/s1600/anchorbraceletfirst.JPG" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">1. & 2. Take the doubled in half cord on each of the ends of the anchor charm. Coming up from the bottom of the charm, push the two ends up from the bottom towards the top, leaving a small loop to push the ends through. Do this for both ends of the charm… the top hole and the bottom of the anchor. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">3. & 4. Pull both cords tight to tighten the loop and fasten the cord onto the charm. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3evWwMzr9dVuY9_b8U7ZZkIpLNCHsKDM9IHKA2lEdk3BHsUU3WQJrLwfSGwSquP0KSTtFKOdHHzTPc41dq4mcZCvNQA_H6gKR0-DJbILFRcJbJqyhsn3fe8yNdtaE4BksNTDKqBoskblh/s1600/anchorbraceletassemble.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3evWwMzr9dVuY9_b8U7ZZkIpLNCHsKDM9IHKA2lEdk3BHsUU3WQJrLwfSGwSquP0KSTtFKOdHHzTPc41dq4mcZCvNQA_H6gKR0-DJbILFRcJbJqyhsn3fe8yNdtaE4BksNTDKqBoskblh/s1600/anchorbraceletassemble.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Once that is fastened. You need to place the charm with the cords on the wrist and measure around the wrist to see how long the cords will be. Trim them to fit the wrist the bracelet is going to be worn on. (keep in mind that each of the fittings you will attach will add some length to the ends of the bracelet.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Assemble your Clamps, jump rings and lobster clasps. You will need them to be assembled like they are in the photo above. (clamp, jump ring with simple opening and lobster clasp.) (clamp and split jump ring). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">6. At this point you have your bracelet with the charm in the middle and doubled cords on each end of the charm. Take the ends of one side of the bracelet say the top end of the anchor. *Make certain you have both of the cords that are that side of the bracelet. (it will have two cords or laces in it because each end of the bracelet has a doubled cord in it.) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">7. & 8. Lay the doubled cords ontop of each other in the channel of the clamp. Take some pliers and crimp the clamp closed over the doubled up cords. Repeat for the other end of the bracelet say the bottom end of the anchor so that each end of the bracelet's doubled cords are securely fastened together with a clamp. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Place the bracelet on the wrist and latch it closed with the lobster clasp and Bracelet is complete!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Enjoy!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This is how I made mine…</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I used some 3/4 in thick plywood.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. & 2. I free-hand drew my arrow and then cut it out with a jigsaw. It is approximately 20 3/4 in. tall and 6 in. wide in the channel where the word Parade is. 12 in. wide from the bend to the tip of the arrow. </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. I next painted the cut out arrow with red paint of my choosing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. I used some tin snips and sheet metal. I cut various strips of metal about 1 1/4 in. wide and various lengths. I bent over just an 1/8 th of an inch and crimped it with needle nose pliers. This crimped edge will be the top edge once the metal is attached to the side of the plywood so when the sign is handled, there is no slicing of the fingers. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5. - 8. I next took longer strips of metal and bent them around the outside of the arrow. The metal strips overlap in some places just a bit. Its not perfect, it gives it a more vintage feel that way. In fact in some places there are small strips to fill in little cracks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used some smaller roofing nails and a hammer to attach the metal once it was bent around the outside of the arrow. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to add some more Fourth of July Decor to our Front Porch…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided on a Navy Blue USA Sign and I LOVE how it turned out!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I used some 1/4 smooth finish plywood. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I cut the plywood = 12 in. wide by 48 in. long</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I bought some 9 1/2 in. wood letters from Hobby Lobby</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I bought some Fourth of July Foam stars from Hobby Lobby</b></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>This is how I made it...</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">*Once my long board was cut, I painted only the ends white coming in from the ends roughly 3 1/2 in. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next I took these foam stars and figured out where I wanted them placed. I used a larger star for the middle and smaller ones on the outsides. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWqer-SKf6yVC3LzhhjGvvVECVRLl1NvsDyo8M5h-5U3Y48GbmudgWigLN7-oB-1EUR8L-URxI0Jw6joYeSSionKJh_yYFF6pHFG9vDgnJ-DP5iR6pVQ0bxi3KmwVq6BjrChAgw6ToYhpm/s1600/1usafoam.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWqer-SKf6yVC3LzhhjGvvVECVRLl1NvsDyo8M5h-5U3Y48GbmudgWigLN7-oB-1EUR8L-URxI0Jw6joYeSSionKJh_yYFF6pHFG9vDgnJ-DP5iR6pVQ0bxi3KmwVq6BjrChAgw6ToYhpm/s1600/1usafoam.JPG" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">***NOTE… I would recommend using the white stars. I did not on some of mine and the foam will tear when you peel them off and then you have red and blue foam that you will have to sand off. The white works the best. If they do peel at least white is stuck to the board. OR if you can find Large Foil stars they would work just as well!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once you figure out where you want your stars, stick them on the white. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next paint your entire board Navy Blue leaving the stars stuck to the board. Once my blue paint was dry, I kept the foam stars on the board and ran a coat of minwax stain Dark walnut over the blue to give it a darker look. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Some of the stars will bleed through, so I used some white and navy blue paint to touch up the stars.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Once my board was framed, I nailed the letters to the board.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">***My Board was too thin to just nail the letters to it, so I </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I nailed a strip of wood about 4 inches wide and the length of the board onto the BACK of the board where I knew the letters and brad nails would be coming through at. </span></div>
