Home Decor' Remake Project...

 Happy Saturday Crafty Friends! 

How has your week gone? how bout' the weekend so far?

Mine? busy, busy... So busy that I hurt my lower back!

It's been a while since I did that... I believe the last time was

back in Dec. 2019 - Soooo it was bound to happen sooner or later -

We are still chugging along with the kitchen but I'm taking it easy

this weekend because of my lower back pain, so I thought I

would sit down and write out a few posts-

You guys know I love Fall and Halloween and I've only shared one

thing so far... I did make a couple of things for the Fall season -

I even took some time to actually make 3 Cards -

I haven't made a card since March? maybe April?

So, I'm hoping to share them this next week - 

I think I'm just gonna make a quick post every day til

Halloween so you can see what I've been up to

 since getting a small craft space started -

I can't even be online more than once a week, so I apologize

now that I still haven't been able to get to most of your blogs - 

I think I got on Facebook once... it's just hard and time-consuming

and the house IS consuming my life more than anything else at the moment. :) 

So... here is another home decor project I did -

I got this sign from a teacher at my old job -

She was going to toss it out but when I saw

it, I told her what I see in the shape, and she

said go ahead and take it - just let me see what

you did when you finish it -

Well... here's what I did with it!

Isn't he the cutest? OMGOSH...

I think this turned out adorable and it's sitting by my front entry -

And YES! I did send her the pictures and she loved it! :)

What I did -----

1.) I sanded the sign down

2.) I painted it with a white primer

3.) I painted it with 2 shades of greens (acrylic paint)

4.) I dry brushed the edges and lines with a grey acrylic paint

5.) I painted my canvas with Mod Podge and let dry

6.) Went into my Silhouette program and found 2

different images and took parts from both to create this guy

7.) I picked out a few assorted colors of vinyl & cut out the pieces

8.)  Layered all the vinyl cuts on my sign to create this adorable Frankie!

When my sister came over she couldn't believe how cute

he turned out and I was like... I know... Right? I so love him!

Anyway... That's what I got for now!

Have a BEAUTIFUL DAY!!
