Here's Your Sign...

I've been into making signs lately. Once I discovered how easy it is, I got kinda sorta addicted. Besides, it's a fantastic way to use up old frames or cabinet doors. 

I had seen a similar "Cottage" sign on Pinterest (where else???) and fell in love with it. I knew it would be perfect for the top of this armoire in the living room. That's always one of the hardest places for me to decorate - for some reason it always stumps me. So I'm super happy to have that little problem solved!

The next one was made from an old mirror that was discarded when we redecorated the church bathrooms. Yep, I painted right over the glass. I love the saying, and the song. 

(Thanks, Jenny, for the inspiration!)

The little chalkboard sits in the kitchen...

I'm still waiting for applicants.

I've already shown this one in another post, but it's a sign, so I'll stick it in here again! It's a great reminder to be content with what we have.  

 I'll share the "how-to's" with ya. This is the easiest way I've found anyway.

Chalkboards:

1. Print your quote on paper making sure to get your font size as big as you need.

2. Rub the back of the paper with chalk.

3. Position it on your chalkboard, and trace the letters with a pen or something sharp.

4. Remove the paper, and go over the faint chalk lines with a chalk marker.

Works like a charm!

Painted Signs:

1. Print your quote on paper.

2. Lay some graphite paper over your sign, place printed quote on top.

3. Trace the quote with a pen.

4. Remove paper and graphite and go over the faint lines with paint. For the "God Is Faithful" sign, I used a black sharpie and it worked GREAT. 

That's it! A super easy, and fun winter project.
