DH and I were so busy before the wedding that I didn't have a chance to post some of our DIY projects. We were so close to buying a wooden directional sign off of Etsy, but we were nervous that it wouldn't arrive in time, so we decided to make one ourselves. I'm so glad that we did. After shipping, we would've spent $75-$100 for one sign. We maybe spent $10, max.
Here's how we did it. We bought a wood wine box at a store near us for $4, and we had another leftover piece of wood that we could use for the backing. After we removed the nails from the wine box, we had perfect sized pieces for the directional pieces. We then took a thick white paint pen (we bought it at Michael's for $4 or $5 with a coupon) and wrote "wedding" and drew an arrow. While the paint was drying, we cut an angle into the back piece so that we could stick it into the ground. After the paint dried, we nailed the pieces to the back piece. Bam! Done. It cost hardly anything, and it was so easy!
