I now make it a habit to dig through the Dollar Store bins for usable signs. It's amazing what you can find if you look at things with a creative eye. I saw this sign at a store and immediately thought "What can I make this into?"
It's cheap, has scratched paint, and isn't really my style- even at Easter time! With fall coming up, I decided to make a little fall wall hanging.
I painted it, added a little ribbon, some vinyl, and some wood stickers from Michaels. Here's the end result:
Simple, cheap, and great for fall. Linking up to some of THESE PARTIES.
It's sooo much better! Love it...
