{ wedding arrow sign }

These arrow signs are so cute and simple for any backyard occasion!
This one just happened to be a {wedding}.

What you'll need:
*  1x6 piece of wood
* 1x1 piece of wood (cut one end into a point for
staking into the ground)
* paint and paint brush
* screws
* sander 
* saw

My Grandpa and I made this sign the morning of the wedding
on a whim (I'm good at that). It took us about 15 minutes and  we
just used what he had laying around in his shop. We started
with a 1x6 piece of barn wood. I just free-handed a point on one
end and an indented point on the other.
 Then cut them out.

Sand the cut edges.

Now screw the 1x1 stake onto the back of your arrow, pointy end down..

Paint your word or words onto the front side of your arrow. You can
use vinyl, too, if you thought that far in advance ;)

Tie a ribbon or some tulle around the stake near the arrow and 
hammer it into the ground. Just remember to consider which way
you want your arrow to be pointing before you screw it onto the stake. 
We want to help our guests, not confuse them! :)

Most wonderful man I know, and my partner in crime
for this project! Thanks Grandpa! 

enjoy
