SYTYCD Week 4- Vintage Window Sign
First I would like to say congrats to Donna over at Funky Junk Interiors for winning last week. She's one of my favorite bloggers, very talented, and sweet too. I would also like to thank everyone that voted for me, I'm extremely grateful and happy for coming in second to Miss Donna.
Each week we are allowed to interpret our themes and for this week's white theme I wanted to add just a hint of my favorite color to the mix.
The vintage sign was made using this window I found at a garage sale for a $1.00.
I came up with the design and had my local copy center blow it up to the size I needed and because I wanted a black and white image it only cost 1.50 for the copy.
I applied Mod Podge medium to the backside of the glass, the same type of technique you would use if you were decoupaging a glass plate.
I smoothed out the bubbles, trimmed it to size and added a different handle to tie in with the black in the print.
I love how it turned out and love even more that it only cost $2.50 to make.
Please don't forget to vote for your favorite Here

Hi Trixie...what a great idea. You always do the neatest things and I just love your style. I live in an old farmhouse and would love to do something like this with a farm sign or old feed sack....something. Thanks for the inspiration....and I love your colors too!

PS Great deal on the window!
Hello Trixie - oh my goodness, I'm embarrassed to say that I have a bunch of old windows stacked up against the side of my house just waiting for some ideas (including a huge one on my dining room wall I don't know what to do with)! I inherited them from a dear friend who had her entire home redone. Thank you for this GREAT idea! And what a sweet deal for the copy!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Marie
