Being a Swedish gal I decided that I wanted to put a few Decorative Sign's up around the house but, I didn't want them to just be the usual signs that you find at Hobby Lobby, or any other craft store. I wanted them to really "MEAN" something to me. So, I decided to find signs that were on major clearance and repaint them, making them "ONE OF A KIND"!
My first sign I made, I took the wall paint color and painted over the existing discounted sign (I paid $5.00 for)! I then took a little of the wall paint and mixed in a little white and black paint to streak it across the sign. I then purchased Wood Letters and painted them red! I glued them on the sign and VOILA... a sign that has meaning:)
SIGN #1

| I like the three dimensional look this gives the sign...VERY CUSTOM! |

| Kinda hard to see in this picture because of the sun coming in the window! |
SIGN #2
The Next, sign I made I decided to GO BIG OR GO HOME...lol! I purchased a $10.00 piece of wood from Home Depot. In this one I decided to go a little more wild with the paint. I first did a base coat using the wall paint again. Then I took a damp paper towel and a little black paint and streaked that in. Next, I took a crackle spray paint and sprayed the corners. I let this dry. Once dry, I sprayed some of the letters on the board and the others I used wood letters that I sprayed black outside, (These I glued on). This sign is what my Grandmother used to say and I LOVE IT! It reminds me of her.

| This Sign puts a smile on my face:) |
