Soooo... yeah... again, I saw this saying on Pinterest, and knew I had to do something with it. I ended up settling on an oversized sheet of compressed wood stuff- what do you call that stuff? MDF? maybe? Anyhow, I had it, and I thought, I could make this work. I actually (because I don't usually) measured off even lines- just making slight hash marks, so I could have the lettering not off kilter. I usually eyeball it, and it takes a lot more time. I still had to work on centering, but if you at least don't have to factor in the up and down part of it, it makes it a lot easier.
I have been enjoying using the technique of the paint on the bottom, vinyl, then painting over the vinyl and pulling it off before the paint completely dries. It is really fun, yes, sigh... I'm a craft nerd! I just touched up a few of the letters a bit, and then distressed it. All it took was adding a wire hanger, and I was done. Surprisingly, for the size, it was a really quick project! I love this saying, because I really, strongly, believe in being thankful. It is something I hope to get through to my children.
Love this sign. Would you make one and sell it to me???
ReplyDeleteI love it too! Same comment from me too...do you create and sell??? Would love one:)
ReplyDeleteI would be happy to make one each for you ladies, I'm just not sure if it would be super expensive by the time it would be shipped because of the size and weight. I'm playing around with it to see if I can make it a bit smaller and still have the same effect.
ReplyDeletePlease let me know. My email is: csmallsreed@aol.com That may be a better way to communicate.
ReplyDeleteThis idea and the saying are so cute! I would LOVE for you to link this up to my link party!
