Summer Lovin’ watermelon sign
Always having a piece of wood painted comes in handy. Especially when making this Summer Lovin’ watermelon sign. My first piece of advice when crafting is always to have square wood pieces cut, painted and ready to go. This piece is an easy make when you already have pre-painted wood blocks or boards. There are a lot of free SVG’s you can find online. I look on Pinterest and google. Find an SVG of a Watermelon, which font you want to use and watch a cute sign come together.

As you know by now I love to do things as cheaply as possible! I could have made this into a small sign but Krystal had an old billboard she had acquired on the side of her house. She was kind enough to cut a 4 foot section off of the end of it and since the backing was wood I just used the back of the billboard. If you flip this Christmas tree family sign and look…
