Finished Welcome Sign- Plus extra tips!

The Welcome Sign project is finally finished, and it's great to see the piece in its complete form. It makes a nice, rustic entrance decoration for almost any home, and is just fun to make in and of itself. :)

As you can see, I added a twine flower and border to the piece, and glued the driftwood down. 

Any hot-glue or super-glue works; I used both. 

If you want to use a water-proofing agent to coat the piece, it's important to follow the directions on the can. You may choose not to water-proof it, since the stuff can be highly flammable; but, if you do, I'd recommend a heavy-duty version, like the kind used on shoes. You'll want to spray 2-3 even layers, going in rows, across the piece to give it a good coat. The purpose of this is to prevent the chipping of the acrylic paint with weather/age, so spraying the twine and found objects really isn't necessary. 

Enjoy!
