On July 1st, Canada will be 144 years old! I’ve never decorated for our celebration before, so I wanted to start with something small. (ok, so probably the only thing I will make :)
I started with this sign from the thrift store for $3.00, which I thought was highway robbery, but I knew it would work for what I wanted it for.
With some spray paint, vinyl and lots of sanding I came up with this sign.
It looks like it’s been dragged down a dirt road from the back of a pick up truck, I’m still learning how to distress :) It’s not real wood, so it wasn’t easy to get it to look like it is.

ReplyDeleteIt looks so cute! And I don't think it looked like it was dragged from behind a pick up at all! You did a fantastic job on it. :)
