Last week, our family went on a little camping trip by a lake. Some of my kids absolutely love the water. So, I made this sign thinking of them.
I used the same type of wood as this project. I cut 8 – 8″ pieces and 2 – 12″
and painted everything white and then used tape to hold the 8″ strips together.
I applied my vinyl decal
and used a craft knife to cut the vinyl between each slat.
I painted each slat a different color.
After the paint dried, I removed all the vinyl
I sanded each piece to expose some of the white underneath and glued on the longer pieces. To finish it off, I drilled two holes and added some jute.
Is life better at the beach? I’m pretty sure my kids think so!
Visiting from the crafty soiree party. Of course life is better at the beach! I bet you'd sell a lot of these; what an awesome project!
Love this! Thanks for sharing! We would love to have you link up to our party!

How true – Life is Better at the Beach and cute, cute, cute – I love it. Stopping by from Nifty Thrifty Sunday. Great Job!
As one who lives at the beach, I won't compare and say life is better, but it is pretty wonderful. I love your sign and will use your idea to make a sign for myself. Thanks
OH, I love it! Very beachy and makes me think of the shores.
This is so cute, although I would have to debate between the beach and the lake. Both are fantastic.
