DIY Firemans Prayer Sign


If you know a fireman or fire woman...you've probably read this poem. I guess just knowing what these brave people choose do everyday...WOW! It really takes a special person to risk it all just to save a stranger. 

A friend of mine wanted this poem to hang on their wall. And she really wanted it to be unique looking.



So I bought some board at Menards and started painting.



It was pretty tricky to get it all spaced out to look even. Maybe I should have used my projector for this project. See my pencil lines?? 





Of course I erased the pencil lines before she picked it up. But I thought over all it turned out pretty neat!

Here is the actual prayer:


Maybe we all should thank them more often!

    3. Thanks Shelly - that worked! Then I ended up using a tiny foam brush and wiping black paint over the lines in between the letters! LOL - fun! Thanks so much for your idea!
