DIY Vintage Framed Chalkboard Signs Lemonade anyone? A few months backs, I ordered some vintage frames off of Etsy for a wedding project I had in mind. However, once the frames arrived I didn’t quite see them working the way I had originally envisioned. Stumped on what to do with them, the fabulous Apb suggested turning them into chalkboard signs to use at our wedding. Genius, right? Why didn’t I think of that? So we asked my neighbor Matt, to cut us some wood inserts that would fit in each of the 5 different sized frames. You want to make sure you have the following supplies as well; your inserts and frames of course, regular old chalk to write messages on your signs, scissors to trim the ribbon if you plan to add ribbon to your frames to hang them, glue to adhere the inserts to the backs on the frames, a screwdriver to remove any nails or hooks inserted in the back of the frames, and last but not least chalkboard paint.

Make a Layered Crepe Paper Greeting Card Home » $1 and Free, cheap crafts, Gifts to Make, Headline, Tutorials 23 May 2011 1,310 views 2 Comments by rhonda This flowery greeting card was my project for the "spring" themed week of Iron Craft. Project estimate: Paper, on handRubber stamps, on handStamp ink, on handMod Podge, on handCrepe paper or tissue paper, on hand or $1Colored pencils, on hand Total: Free and up Start by cutting a piece of paper to the size you want your card. Stamp your wording onto the card and, if desired, color in the letters with colored pencil. Brush a layer of Mod Podge onto the front of the card and carefully apply either a sheet of tissue paper or strips of crepe paper streamer. Here's the trick that's tripped me up and led to failure in the past: Do not apply a layer of Mod Podge over top of the tissue or crepe paper; this will make it difficult to stamp and color the flowers on the top layer. When the Mod Podge is dry, stamp several related images over top of the wording.
Tutorial: Vintage-looking painted sign from salvaged wood Today I have a little tutorial for you. I'm going to show you how to (easily!) make these sweet wooden signs. You will need: piece of salvaged wood upholstery tacks or short nails (optional) hammer acrylic paint (background color) black acrylic paint (or other color to fill in letters) large paint brush small paint brushink jet printer twine Sharpie Marker or other dull, rounded tool This project started with a pile of cedar fence pieces that we've had sitting in our backyard for ages. I loved how grey and weathered they had become from sitting outside. Next, distress the wood to your liking. Next, choose your paint. (I wasn't really sure if I was going to be doing a tutorial for this or not until I was finished, so I'm afraid I'm missing a few photos for some of the steps. After you've properly dented and nicked your piece of wood to perfection and added your tacks or nails, take your large , dry paint brush and get a little paint on it. P.S.
do you mind if i knit: My "Sarah London Scarf." Hello, I've got something to show you! I have to come clean, I've started a crochet project, without finishing my last project. Shockingly undisciplined, I know. It's the scarf you see in the picture above, and it's a pattern I've worked out myself, inspired by someone who's crochet and colours I aspire to, Sarah London. She has a fabulous blog, which you can go to here. Infact, she's been doing a mystery crochet project over her last few posts, in which you can join in, by following her superb instructions. I don't know if you remember these photos from a past blog post? So, let's see, what have we above? Hmmmmmm, that's a few patterns to write up for you, isn't it? Anyway, back to the subject of the Sarah London Scarf. This is the first time I've done any of this major "figuring a pattern out" malarky, and although it's really only a minor bit of working it out, I still feel I've achieved something. But I couldn't have done it without Sarah's help. Then I saw a ball of yarn. Oh yes!
