Every time my mom is over she is eying my “Coffee Corner” sign and requested one for Christmas. She doesn’t have a coffee corner and so I needed to come up with something along the same lines but different so this is what I made:
I can’t wait to give it to her. I know she’s going to love it as much as I do. Now, I hope she doesn’t see this before Christmas…don’t you tell her!!
If you want to know how I made this, here’s a little tutorial:
I took a recycled piece of decking and randomly dry brush painted it black.
Then I mixed black and red paint together and dry brush painted over the black.
I made stencils on my Cricut and then painted the letters white.
After everything dried, I sanded the whole thing to give it the rustic look.
I attached the star in the center. I had salvaged it from a broken plaque.
That’s how you do it…I will probably be making me one like this soon. I think laughing often and loving deeply is the only way to go!

I am with you! Laughing often and loving deeply! I love barn stars! I have them in my camper and they are a large part of my decorations for every season–I even have one with a jack o lantern on it for Halloween.
Your mom is gonna love it!
Merry Christmas!
