home sign




I saw a sign similar to this at a recent street fair.  I loved the simplicity and colors.  A window is used for a frame.  I used Masonite as a backing, painted it black, used Elmers glue for the crackle and tan as the top coat.  After that dried over night I cut a star and letters with my Cricut.  I transferred the designs with carbon paper, yes they still make it.  I painted the star and letters by hand then antiqued the whole thing.  Attaching the painting to the frame and a saw-tooth hanger and it was done.
