What was it about a this vinyl "Welcome" sign from ten23 Designs that had me wracking my brain? Well, I had too many places I wanted to use it - I loved the font! At first I wanted to do make it apart of a coat hanger...then a simple (but sweet) sign...and then I wanted it on my front door...and then...well, finally I had an idea that stuck!
So, yes I made a sign, but I was inspired to change it up a bit. We were getting ready to "Welcome" a lot of different people and things to our house during the holidays and so this idea was born....
I decided to add a chalkboard "label" to my sign to personalize it with the guest or season we are welcoming.
SUPPLIES
- Vinyl "Welcome" from ten23 Designs, Olive
- DecoArt chalkboard paint, black
- Foam brush, Rockler
- Sanding bug, Rockler
- Board, 10 " x 24" (I used what I had on hand)
- Paint - I used a quart of white paint I had on hand. You could use acrylic paint, spray paint, or something you already have.
- I am not hanging mine...at the moment, but am adding a DISChanger just in case!
- Old store or credit card (to affix the vinyl)
- Ruler
- Pencil
DIY IT!
So this was a super easy and fun project anyone can do!
You can see the full tutorial over a The DIY Club!
Clean...sand...paint..vinyl it!
Here is how we have used the sign so far...
First up....
"Welcome Grandma and Grandpa"
"Welcome Grandma and Grandpa"
then
"Welcome Santa"
Now
"Welcome 2012"
My hubby wants it to say
"Welcome...now go home." YIKES!
What are you ready to welcome!?
