Spray paint the stained wood sign with black spray paint. Once the paint is dry create a map on your wooden board. You can either paint dotted lines and an "X" on the board with red paint, or use your Cricut to cut out the map in red vinyl (which is what I did here.). Download the free template here

Position 5 pirate hooks on the board, two in the top corner, two in the bottom corner and one in the middle. Screw a screw through the back of the board each hook will be. Then screw the inside part of the hook onto the screw. Here is a tip: put a ziptie or rubberband around the inside part of the hook to make sure it doesn't split open.
