DAMIAN name plaque

So when we cut out the vinyl for the name frame there was room for two names. Secretly I was hoping for two vinyl names so I'm so glad it worked out. I had a scrap piece of 1x4 I wanted to make into a name sign since there was a bit of paper left over from the frame that would fit it perfectly. One edge of the board was very crooked but after several minutes with the sander I got it straight enough. Since I had a better idea of what I was doing I painted the entire board black first, then I mod podged on the scrapbook paper. Then I applied the vinyl lettering and then I added a top coat. It is completely nerve wracking working with paper as it wrinkles up something terrible everytime you add a layer but eventually it smooths back out. I really like how this turned out. I think I'll be making a couple more soon.

Custom Vinyl Plaques & Frame

After I recently made the sign for my brother's wedding I received a couple of custom orders. The top two plaques are doors from IKEA. I checked on the retail prices on doors the other day and who knew that most were $100 or more. Crazy! Thank goodness for the "as is" section where they sell doors that are either returned or taken apart from their former displays. You can buy doors for just a fraction of the price. It's my latest addiction.

The bottom frame is from my stash of tole painting wood from my Provo Craft days. Although it looks like it's painted really fancy I actually just mod podged a piece of paper on it.

I love how these projects turned out and can't wait to make more.
