Busy and a little break.

I decided to take a little break last week. It was a short week and after having family over the Labor Day weekend I just needed a little break to catch up with my housework. It was not all work you see I have been reading a book which doesn't leave a lot of time for much more. This weekend I have been working on a few things and will share them with you soon.

Here is a little PANTRY sign I made this afternoon.




* Edited: So sorry but I am not good a tutorials yet. I found these metal signs at Goodwill. This particular GW gets (brand new) donations from Target. The signs are all brown and say "All Star" on them and I new I could refurbish them with some new word or saying. I started off by priming it and painting it cream with a little bit of a distressed look. Still woring on perfection this distressed look. I made this "Pantry" sign for my friend. I used a foam stamp for the fleur de lis. For the letters I used my computer. I found a font that I liked and enlarged it. I then cut each letter individually and used chaulk on the back of the paper for tracing on to the sign. I used black craft paint and a small brush to paint the letters. I will try to remember to do a step by step on my next sign.
