Have you ever looked at a piece of hardware or a little scrap of metal and it reminded you of a letter? Well, that happened to my mom, Judy Kerstetter. She saw pieces of the alphabet in the junk drawer and was inspired to piece the letters together to make words; and then make signs with simple and homey messages.
Some the letters were really easy to find and inspired the word she wanted to make and some took a little searching and creativity to form the word.
The distressed, reclaimed wood is a perfect ground for these junky words.
Use pieces of wire, nuts, bolts, broken tools, hinges, and knobs... the possibilities are endless! In my opinion, the rustier and junkier the better! If you have the junk and can spell - this is a relatively simple and inexpensive project to make. And it can help clear out that junk drawer!
