OK, here it is. I can't believe I even got this finished!
I wanted a sign that would welcome everyone to our Halloween gathering. I have decided to name our little part of the world for Halloween "Lagrousomeville".
I want to say "thank-you" to everyone on this site that has been such an inspiration! I hope you enjoy.
Materials List & Cost Breakdown:
Bottom Post: $7.00 ~ Picked this up at a garage sale
Top Post: Free ~ It was off of our screened-in canopy tent we put up on our deck, but didn't need one section of one corner.
Rod: Free ~ This was part of an old curtain rod I wasn't using.
Crow: Free ~ Just laying around in the garage. But if I needed to buy one, they run about $8.00, so I'll include that.
Sign Board: $8.00 ~ 2' x 4' section of insulation board
Top Piece of Wood on Sign: Free ~ It was scrap in the garage
Paint: $10.00 ~ Used only about 1/2 gallon
Screws, Etc.: $5.00 ~ Estimated. I had all the screws, chains, laying around in the garage.
Total: $38.00
Basic How To:
The sign is made from insulation foam board & I added a piece of scrap wood to the top to add the eye screws & chains. The bottom part of the post is made of wood and the top section is like a thin aluminum. I painted them to match, screwed them together and drilled holes in the top to put in the curtain rod. The crow was attached with craft wire.
I named our "city" Lagrousomeville......that one's an obvious, and we were established in 1840....which is our house #.
