Hi friends,
Do you like to go to DOLLAR TREE for craft supplies?
I found these large wood cut outs.
For this price I can't even buy the wood and I don't
have to ask for help from Mr. FRESH VINTAGE....
I liked the tree shape-
The tree was 11.5'' tall !
I used acrylic paint to cover the tree front and back.
The color I had on hand was English Moss.
The wood cutouts come with a jute hanger.
I had a small 1'' wood star that I painted gold.
I untied the jute and added the wood star.
I had this stencil- I thought I could make a small sign.
The best part about stencils is you can pick and choose
what part of the stencil to use.
I checked what would fit on my sign, then
blocked off the other areas with painters tape and paper.
I painted only the area I wanted by moving and adjusting
the stencil with tape.
Letting the paint dry before moving the stencil to another section.
I gave the tree a light sanding.
Then used a spray sealer over the whole sign.
Just in case someone wants to put the sign outside.
I want to get a good head start on Christmas!
Thank you-

What a fun idea! Missing the Dollar Tree now that I live in Europe. Spotted your cute post over at Pam's Party - thanks for sharing your creativity!
ReplyDeleteI see these blank signs all the time but never think of all the creative ways to paint and decorate them - at the time. Thanks for sharing some much needed inspiration. This post will be a feature this week. #HomeMattersParty
ReplyDeleteI love this! I also did a craft using these trees. So much fun! I'll be adding your lovely tree to our featured posts this Friday at The Crazy Little Lovebirds link party #65.
ReplyDeleteThis turned out so great and captures your Blog's name perfectly...Fresh and Vintage looking. Featuring when my party opens.
