PB Knock Off - Ocean Pier sign

I love Pottery Barn, oh yes I do, but I don’t love their prices. When I saw their Ocean Pier sign, I thought, hey, I can make my own version.

I knew that not in a million years would I be able to replicate the fish, so opted for a crab.



I was determined not to buy anything, so I used what I had; an old frame, some tongue and groove wood and acrylic craft paints.

Here is how I put it together

I applied the boards to a piece of plywood that fit the frame.  Painted the boards and then the frame. Yay, it fits.

I used my Sure cuts a lot software to make the design, cut it out of vinyl with my Cricut and applied it to the wood.

I painted the design in and that’s that.  It did take a lot of time and the lettering is not really crisp. Hopefully that makes it look authentic

Sharing this project at the following parties, take a look for lots of wonderful and awesome diy projects.

Thank you for the features, I'm honoured.
