A Very Merry DIY Christmas: Dog Biscuit+Ball Jar

The temperatures here are dropping and we are just a few weeks away from Christmas! If you're anything like my family, it can be hard to buy for everyone. But, if you know any dog lovers, anything you get for their beloved pups will be a welcomed gift. This is a quick and simple glass jar stuffed with goodies and toys. Fill it with items from around the house, small bones, treats, balls, clothing... whatever your heart desires. I used a paint pen in white with a small rounded tip to write the quote. I used fonts "Cheddar Jack" and "DK Yellow Sun" as guidance. 

A Very Merry DIY Christmas: Hand Lettered Wood Signs

Hello and welcome to part three of my Christmas gift series! Of course these wood signs are fabulous for gifting for any occasion or holiday. I love that they can be used year-round. I got the wood from the Home Depot and they cut it there for me. These boards are approximately 12"x15". To see how we stained the wood, check out my last tutorial here. 

If you love the look of hand lettered signs but don't have the time or patience to create your own look, shop them on Brooke Gordon Designs. 

This first design is for my Hawaii family 🤗

I used basic acrylic paint and this brush set to tackle this project:

I used the flat brush for the thick strokes and finished with the rounded tip for thin lines and rounded edges. 

Hand Lettered Pumpkin Tutorial

I'm excited to share my first video tutorial with you all! I still haven't fully gotten used to hearing my own voice on camera, but I'll get over it :) Hope you all enjoy!

Here's a mock of what I envision the house numbers to look like. I used the font "EcuyerDax" for the numbers and "Ke Aloha" for the street. There are a whole slew of monogram ideas and some fall phrases on Pinterest you could incorporate!
