I’m participating in the Dare to DIY link party and this week’s theme
is to Be Thankful. I wanted to create a framed message that I will hang over my
Kitchen message center (when I get it put together).
After some black spray paint and matte sealer, some Basic Black striped
DSP, white vinyl, and etching cream I came up with this beauty.
Here is the frame I started with.
I sprayed the frame with black satin spray paint and some matte sealer
spray. This is just what I already had on hand.
Next I went to my computer and cut the font out of white vinyl on my
Silhouette. I used the letters for the “Today I am for…” and the negative for
the “Thankful”. The negative I applied onto the glass from the frame and used
some etching cream to etch the letters in the glass following the instructions
on the bottle of etching cream. Then I removed the vinyl. I cleaned the glass
and added the white vinyl letters. Then
I simply put the glass and a piece of Basic Black designer paper in the frame.
It had to be a dark color to show off the etched letters.
Now when I walk by this in my kitchen it will make me think of
something I am thankful for each time I see it. Thinking of one way you are
thankful each day really shows how blessed you are!
