A few months ago while I was browsing through Pinterest I saw a sign that said,
"Oh come let us adore Him."
I fell in love with the idea of putting this up on a sign for the Christmas season.
It took awhile to figure out just what I wanted to do, but I finally figured it out.
For this project I am going to use pallet boards.
My hubby cut a pallet up for me so I have lots of boards from that.
*To be honest what I did first TOTALLY FAILED. I was so not happy. I wanted to spray paint it and leave the wood for the letters. I did a sample and loved it, but when I did it on the project you could not even see the letters so I had to go about doing this differently. Its ok though...I love how it did turn out!
What I did was spray paint the whole board green. I had to do lots of coats on it. I lost count because of having to redo the whole thing.
{You can kid of see the letters in this picture that I was trying to cover up}
I didn't really want it this bright of green. I wanted it soft and old looking, but because I had to repaint over the letters this is what I got.
While that was drying I got on my cricut and designed the saying how I wanted it. I pulled the letters off so I had the silhouette of them because I want to paint them on.
This is what it looked like:
Next, I transferred that over to my pallet boards.
I got out red craft paint and silver paint and got to work.
I put 2 coats of paint on everything.
After that dried all the way I pulled the vinyl off.
Here is what it looks like finished:
I am definitely happy with the outcome after the mishap to begin with!!

I absolutely LOVE the way this looks-you did an AWESOME job!
ReplyDeleteI am SO jealous of how crafty you are lady! I love this sign!
ReplyDeleteI love your sign! I am a new {translate - not awesome yet} Silhouette user. I have pulled off the letters and made a sign, but I haven't tried it this way. Were you using regular 9 inch vinyl? Adding your crafty self to my blog emails so I can keep up with you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I actually have a Cricut and I cut the vinyl out to what size I am using so I don't waste any. This one was 10"x 15". I hope that answered your question!
DeleteYou are too sweet!
So sweet!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely L.O.V.E. this! I need a silhouette to be left in my stocking!
ReplyDeleteHey Jill! even though you had to redo, it turned out really nice - I love that shade of green and a wonderful way to praise the Lord!
