Football season is about to be in full swing and when my friends at DecoArt asked me to do a project having to do with team sports, I thought I’d make an easy DIY sign!
Around our house, fall football is our Saturday and Sunday afternoon soundtrack. It’s a harbinger of fall and for that reason, I love it.
I have a husband, a son and a couple of SIL’s that love football for other reasons…like, the actually love the game! 🙂 My son and one SIL are SEC fans, so with them in mind, I made this cute sign…
Not only was it easy…
But it was cheap! I found this not-so-pretty clock on sale for under $3.00!
After removing the hands and the battery box on the back, I painted the whole clock in Americana Chalky Finish Paint in LACE . Then lightly sanded the whole thing so some color would show through.
In PicMonkey, I made this little sign and printed it out…(I’ll give you this as a printable at the end of the post!)
With a pencil I (pressing hard), colored on the back of my print where the letters are-
Then after placing the print (letter side up), on the clock where I wanted the letters to go, I traced over the letters with a pen. (pressing down hard)
The pencil acts as a transfer medium for the letters…
Using a black Sharpie Permanent marker, I traced the letters…
Then using Americana MultiSurface Satin in Dark Scarlet , I filled in some of the letters!When everything was dry, I lightly sanded over the letters. The light sanding over the letters makes any mistakes disappear!
For an easy DIY sign, this technique is my favorite.
And I kinda like what this one says 🙂
Do you love football season? If so: College-Professional-Both?

And if you happen to be an SEC fan, here’s a PDF you can print out to make your own sign…
We love college football and are so ready for the season to start. I’m an Alabama fan, my hubster is an Aggie and my in-laws are Auburn. We have a healthy mix! 🙂 Adorable sign! Think I might be making one for us! Thanks for sharing!!
Benita! You guys probably have some lively get togethers during football season! 🙂 ox (We’re a mix of UGA, Auburn & GA Tech!)
This is the best quote ever!!! Being a southern girl and huge football / SEC fan…this is PERFECT! Thank you for the printable!
Malissa! I’m so glad you like it my southern friend xo
