A few weeks back, I posted a "No soliciting" quote I came across on facebook. Well... Tim and I both loved it so much, that we tracked down an Etsy seller,
American at Heart, who made a sign with the phrase on it.
It came about a two weeks ago but since we were planning on hanging it outside, we needed to add two coats of polyurethane before exposing it to the elements. So I set up my painting station (an upside down trashcan in the front yard) and set to work.
I actually used the same can of poly I used for the
Name Sign I made earlier this year along with a foam roller.
I applied one very thin layer along the front and all four sides. After about an hour in the sun, I applied the second coat. I let it dry outside the remainder of the day.
The poly was satin finish so it added a little bit of sheen but nothing too dramatic. The next day, it went to its new home, right over the doorbell.

Now, I am not sure if it will actually deter solicitors but it should spark some interesting comments! :)
