Handmade Craft Room Sign (For My BFF for Christmas)

December 2, 2018 by Kat Leave a Comment

Handmade Craft Room Sign

Hi everyone! I finally have a crafty project to share with you guys.  I didn’t take pictures during the process and I don’t have an extensive product list but I can tell you how I made it and where I got most of the supplies if that helps.

I wanted something special for Christmas for my best friend, Mona, who happens to live in Canada, approximately 2,227.5 miles from me.  (TOO FAR!)  So I thought I’d make her something handmade.  I’m no expert at handmade crafts, I usually stick to scrapbooking and paper crafting so this was a little out of my area of expertise lol.

I found the wooden sign at Hobby Lobby (and used a coupon code!)

For Mona’s name in black,  I custom ordered it from a company online.  (I also ordered a monogramed sign for my parents for Christmas).  I originally found them on a facebook ad and I loved the two items I purchased from them, as well as their reasonable pricing.  I contacted them to give them my feedback and they gave me a coupon code to share with you! If you are interested in getting a custom made sign (or a pre-made sign) check them out HERE and use my coupon code “KAT” and you will save 10%on your order!

I glued the “Mona’s” Sign onto the Wooden sign using E6000 Glue.

Next, I found the little wooden paint palette and paintbrush in a set.  I had to buy like 5 or 6 of each to get them but they were inexpensive and I’m sure I can use the others on other projects or share them with friends.  To be completely honest I think I bought it on Etsy but I can’t remember now and I’ve searched my email for the link and can’t find it.  However, I found the exact same ones HERE. so you can still get them if you want 🙂

Okay so The letters that spell “CRAFT ROOM”, I found at Michaels.  They come in a pack and I only needed one pack because they have multiples of each letter.  Here is the one I used but you can use any letters you want of any size.

Next, I wanted to color the paint palette and the letters but I didn’t want to make a mess with paints and wait for them to dry (I’m a lazy crafter), so I took out my Tim Holtz Distress Markers and went to town!.  I colored each the background of the paint palette with a brown color and then didn’t like it so i used a grey color (probably weathered wood) on top if it and then I liked the color. Then I colored each little paint splat a different color, being sure to use her two favorite colors which are teal and pink.  I colored the paint brush and tip of the paint brush and even the paint on the tip of the brush!.  It looked a little flat so I took my Fabrika Decoru Transparent Drops (you could also use (Nuvo Clear Drops, Nuvo Crystal Glaze, Glossy Accents or Gina K Crystalline Drops) and with a toothpick, i put it over the splats to make them shiny.

Then I colored the wooden alphabet letters and I did the in alternating colors. Mostly because I couldn’t decide which of her favorite colors to use, so I decided to use them both LOL  I had to color them each twice because the ink soaked into the wood a little and I wanted them darker.

I thought the letters were cute but “needed” something special so I sprayed them liberally with Shimmer Spritz.  Now they sparkle like a million teeny tiny diamond specks.

I glued the paint palette, paint brush and letters to the sign using  E6000 Glue. When gluing small items it helps to use something small like a q-tip to put the glue on the back of the embellishments to keep it from leaking out.  You only need a tiny bit.

That’s how I made her sign!  She said she loves it and hung it on her craft room door so that makes me happy!  If you make a handmade sign like this, let me know, I’d love to see yours!

Thanks for stopping by today!
