If there is one thing I am always willing to take more of, it is good luck!
I just feel like I never have enough, you know?
I do have a few good luck trinkets that I keep around including some lucky bamboo.
Yep, my brother gave it to me for a gift and its on mykitchenwindowsill.
Some people dont believe in luck and some people believe all of life is a series of finding luck.
Years ago on another blog I did a LOVE canvas in the style ofRobert Indianas LOVE.
Basically all that means is you have a four letter word that you square up on a background.
I made a good luck sign for St. Pats using wood letters and gold tape.
This St. Patricks Day sign was made in four easy steps.
Youre going to paint thepalletand add white accents.
Then you will paint and decorate the letters.
You will glue everything together.
And finally, youll add some gold shamrocks.
This good luck sign is so simple, even beginner can make it!
Learn how to do it below.
Gather These Supplies
Paint the Pallet
I got a 12 (approx.)
unfinished wood pallet in the wood section of the craft store.
Then I headed to the wood letters and found some that fit.
I highly recommend this strategy to check that everything fits!
Begin by painting the pallet with green paint.
Give the pallet several coats of paint and let dry.
Dont forget to hit all the nooks and crannies (it helps to use a smaller brush).
You want to cover the entire surface from every angle.
The straight up green paint is nice, but I wanted a little added flair.
This is one of those tricks that adds a little interest to your good luck sign.
Grab a different brush with looser bristles.
Then youre going to dry brush white paint on the edges of the pallet.
After you do that, brush the paint onto the edges of the pallet.
Youll see some of the paint lightly come off onto the wood and thats what you want!
Practice first on paper if you gotta.
Its really easy once you get the hang of it.
Once you are satisfied, let your sign dry.
Use a golden yellow to paint all the sides of the letters and let dry.
At this point you COULD paint the entire letter.
And then add glitter or gold glitter paint on top.
But glitter is messy.
And gold glitter paint requires a lot of layers.
But this time I wanted it to be simple and non-messy, so I used gold glitter Duck Tape!
I keep it around for situations just like this.
Apply the glitter tape to one side of the letter.
Then turn the letter over and trim with the craft knife.
Remove the excess tape.
Repeat with the other letters.
confirm to tape on the right side of the letter!
How do I know this?
Glue the Letters
Time to glue the letters to your St. Patricks Day sign!
Place the letters first, before gluing them into place.
verify you like the arrangement.
Glue down and let dry.
Print it out and use it to cut some shamrocks out of the gold glitter tape.
it’s possible for you to also freehand your shamrocks if you choose.
I made six to spread around the pallet.
I really love the way my good luck sign turned out!
What makes me happy is that its cute St. Patricks Day decor without being too crazy or overwhelming.
Plus it was easy!
