    This easy tutorial will show you how to make a coffee sign that holds coffee mugs. Single hooks are great for holding coffee cups on the reclaimed wood sign. Perfect for displaying those special coffee cups! #MyRepurposedLife #reclaimed #coffee #diy #sign #ilovecoffee via @repurposedlife

    This rustic coffee sign mug holder is made out of reclaimed fencing.

    I have been using all this reclaimed wood for a couple of years now. I used reclaimed fence boards, but you could easily use pallet boards, or purchase new fence boards at your local hardware store. The fence boards are about 5.5” wide. I cut the pieces of fencing approximately 7.5” in length.

    how to sand rough rustic reclaimed wood

    There was some splintering of the wood. Want to know my secret for sanding the rough edges without losing any of the great patina? I use a scrap piece of wood to knock off any splinters. I’ve been using this method for years.

    stencil coffee sign

    I cut the word COFFEE out of contact paper using my Silhouette Portrait. I like to transfer the entire square of each letter, and then weed it afterwards.

    My favorite way of stenciling with contact paper letters is using Martha Stewart Foam Pouncers.

    I prefer light coverage of paint when I use reclaimed lumber.

    pouncer stenciling

    After dipping the pouncer into the paint, I dab it off on a piece of contact paper backing to get the muted look with the paint. I did a letter on each of the boards.

    building rustic coffee sign

    Then it was time to construct my Coffee sign mug holder. I ripped small pieces of rustic reclaimed fencing to make the frame. I prefer to have a little of the frame extending on the front and the back. Laying the letters on a scrap board makes makes this easier.

    I attached all the pieces together with my Ryobi Nail Gun.

    I added single hooks from D. Lawless Hardware.

    Because I was in a hurry and losing daylight, I chose to hang the coffee sign mug holder on the newly painted shed.

    I love the way the white coffee cups look against the rustic wood. This was a very simple project and the cost was minimal, just the hooks!

      This is so cute, but it really should say diet Mt Dew if it were in my home.
