Welcome to some other calendar month of the #makeit challenge!
Last calendar month a few of us joined together to brand a neat patriotic arts and crafts projection (see my Canada Day Centerpiece). This calendar month nosotros were challenged to brand a Beach themed craft. This beach themed DIY Home Sweet Home Sign volition hold out perfect for decorating your abode this summer!
Here’s what you lot postulate to brand it:
5ft of 1×4’s (wood)
Mitre Saw
Cricut Explore
Vinyl
Chalk Paint (I used Americana Decor – green, blue, yellow, & white)
Rope
I started yesteryear designing my sign on the Cricut Explore. I institute an ikon of my abode province, Alberta. together with and thus institute a font I liked to write “Home Sweet Home” on the sign, together with sized it check the province pic.
You must brand certain to weld the text images thus that the words proceed the same spacing that you lot designed inward the pattern space. Print all the words on i vinyl sheet….
…then impress the province (or state) on some other vinyl sheet. Mine was to a greater extent than than 12 inches long, thus I had to operate my 12 x 24″ mat to cutting it out.
Now that you lot convey the vinyl cut. fourth dimension to dice to the woodwork!
I started yesteryear cutting my 1 x 4’s, into 12″ sections using the mitre saw.
Next, I painted each of the forest slices individually, together with and thus attached the backs together using some spare forest I had lying around. I attached the forest backing amongst forest glue, together with a staple gun.
Next, I flipped the projection over (right-side up), together with placed my vinyl on top.
Then, using some painters tape, together with an X-Acto knife, I created a small-scale edge or thus my province cut-out that I could pigment after. I painted inside the edge amongst my white chalk paint.
When that was dry, I removed the vinyl together with painters tape, together with and thus added the vinyl for the “Home Sweet Home” wording together with painted those letters. Hint: If you lot operate a fleck of heat, it volition assistance adhere the vinyl fifty-fifty better!
Does anything order beach similar rustic rope? I definitely had to add together that! I drilled 2 thick holes into the travel yesteryear thus that I could add together some rope for hanging my beautiful beachy artwork.
I was hoping to brand something that felt beachy, only too that I could proceed upward on display whatever time. So I chose some beachy pigment colours, only a real neutral maxim :) So proud of how this sign turned out! LOVE my province!
