Directional Signpost

The idea for this sign actually came from Molly Weasley’s clock in the Harry Potter series that showed where everyone in her family was at the moment. Last Christmas I made one for my Mom to show where all of her family lives, and I recently made this one for my own house. I think it would also be fun to use this for big cities (London, New York, Paris) or favorite vacation destinations (the beach, ski resort, etc.)

Step 1: Making the Signs

For the signs, I used an 8-foot piece of 1x3 select pine ($6). You can find cheaper wood, but go for the good stuff. I cut it into eight 12-inch pieces, and then chopped the corners off with a miter saw to make the point.

They had one in the TV series M*A*S*H, too. It's a fun project because there are so many ways you can personalize it.
