Hobby Lobby: Ranger Ground Espresso ink

Let’s make it!

I started out with this cute sign from Dollar Tree.

TIP: Place your wood stumps in the order that they fit well and mark them so you’ll know how to place them back on. You can put a little paint dab on top or number the bottom.

I used my heat tool to remove the little sign in the middle and also the frame edges, then tore the paper from the surface.

I painted the surface with Hey Sailor blue, then added the frame edges back with hot glue.

Next, I painted the wood pieces with red, white and blue.

Then I stenciled on the stars.

I dried the paint with my heat tool, then sanded just a few and glued them on to the surface.

Then I dabbed my Ranger Ground Espresso ink pad onto the edges to create a more rustic look.

And that’s it! This is a fun and easy craft, and even the kids can help! Our friends suggested using wine corks in place of the stumps, which is a fun idea!

I hope you enjoyed this craft as much as I did! Let me know in the comments how you might display your own Americana craft!
