BONJOUR everyone!! :)
While sitting on Pinterest one night looking at all the lovely things
that there are to be looked at I fell in love with some old Road signs.
I thought "how cool would it be to have some of these for decoration on my patio"
Well about 2 days later when a friend had commented on one of my pins said "I can't wait to see what you do" I thought...HOLY CRAP...I can actually make these! :)
So I went to my shed and got out my plethora (I am pretty sure that's a real word) of FREE Roadside Rescue cupboard doors. I painted them a nice French Blue, since you know I love everything FRENCH! :)
I found this great website of someone who just goes around taking pictures of signs and lets you have FREE downloads. I think this is the LINK. I got an idea for what I wanted
and started drawing on the letters.
I then used my KRINK pens to outline the letters and then painted them in.
When they were all dry I distressed the heck out of them and gave them a good coat of Poly.
VOILA!! I now have Free FRENCH roadsigns. I had the paint and the free doors, so this cost me nothing.
I will give them more coats of Poly on both sides eventually since they will most likely be outside, but If I decide to keep them inside, they can stay like this.
I hope you have a BEAUTIFUL day!
