Cricut Vinyl Project

Well I am happy to report that one more

project has been tackled this past weekend!

 

It seems like lately I have been in a little bit of a slump

as far being motivated to finish some of

the projects I have started!

 

However I feel pretty good with what

I got accomplished!

 

Today's project is from my wood pallet wreath display
project shown below.

 

My original plan was to make a sign out of this

but I decided to use it for a Christmas prjoect first!

Now that the holidays are over I am back on track:)

 

So with the help of my Cricut machine, vinyl, and discounted

paint from Home Depot I have now have a

finished sign!

 

BTW!  If you are ever in need for paint for a small project

check out the Oops section of the Home Depot paint

department!  I go there a lot to try out different colors

without spending a fortune on a whole gallon especially

when I have a small project like this one!

 

So here is what I started with:

 

I used my Cricut machine to cut the vinyl and

adhere it to the wood.  I tried to use stencil letters but since

the wood was kind of rough it just didn't turn out

as nice so needless to say I had to repaint the who think

again!  Lessoned learned!

 

Once the letters were positioned on the sign I took my

.50 paint from Home Depot and painted over the

entire project.  After the paint had time to dry I went

back and peeled the vinyl up and was left with this beautiful

saying!  I think that with this color scheme and not using

a smooth surface gave the sign a rustic/vintage look to it!

I really love how it turned out!

 

I was thinking about adding a Chevron print

border to the bottom and top of the sign, I will keep

you posted:)

 

So what have you created lately?

 

Since today is a snow day here in Georgia,

I think I might tackle a couple more projects like

my closet!! Yikes :)

 

Have a great week!
