A neighbor of mine just built a new patio and had a bunch of 8x10 inch chunks wood sitting around. I think they're unused pieces of sawed-off decking. Anyway, she happily gave them to me to be used for this year's mantel décor. Here's what I did:
1. Sand the edges - because splinters suck the Christmas spirit right out of you.
2. Using a pencil, freehand sketch the block letters - I'm a wing-it kind of girl.
3. Then using any paint you like, paint the negative space, leaving the woodgrain letter unpainted.

Very Nice!
I love your house! It is so cute, and matches your style completely.
genius. I love picking up other people's crap and turning it into something awe.some. :)R
I love this idea, Sarah. Thanks for sharing!
That's very pretty Sarah. I keep seeing turquoise and fuchsia, that's just not Christmasy to me. I love red and gold and the more traditional colours.
I'm with you Veronica - red, green, gold and silver all the way!
oh so neat. love that you left the negative natural.
