As I was cruising through Pinterest I saw this graphic. I can’t find where I found it but I saved the image. I love argyle and thought it would be a great fall sign to decorate with. I went scavenging through the garage and found the following to help make this happen:
- Some paint sample cards that I got out of the trash at the paint store last year. They were from the previous season and were being thrown away. The clerk could not believe that I wanted them. They have been living in a baggie waiting to be used.
- A wooden placemat that I got at a garage sale for 25 cents.
- Primer
- Green paper
The paint sample that I saved from the trash!
I primed the placemat because I did not think I was going to decoupage the whole placemat.
I did not hand letter the sign. After the new year one of my goals is to learn how to hand letter.
The finished sign ready to hang!
