Now let’s see what my friends came up with….īe sure to stop back in when I share these (yep, this becomes TWO) new, “old” things for my master bedroom! I got it from Amazon and you can find it here > “ Handmade Blue and Ivory Wool Area Runner“.Įspecially so if you have an old board/sign like this to start with! Very high quality, wool and very inexpensive too. I love this rug!! It’s so plush and comfy on the feet. I think the sign goes great with my new rug in here…. I do still need to find (or make) a window treatment for this window. It’s hard to get a shot by a window but hopefully, you get the idea. Plus, soften up and “age” those letters a bit too.Īnd here’s a few more posts on shadowing: I used fairly rough sandpaper and went over the whole thing to bring that white from underneath through. I think it just gives them some nice depth and a not such a flat look.Īnd this sign is called “antiqued”….because I wanted it to look like an old one. OR you can download this handy guide I created for you.ĭOWNLOAD or PRINT here > “Handy Guide for Adding Shadows to Letters” That was a quick and easy guide to go by. I did a quick google search for “letter shadowing” and found the one you see there on my phone. I wanted to give a bit of definition to the letters so decided to add some shadowing. This left white lettering showing through from underneath. I’m always sharing in my stories as I’m doing projects, finding new furniture, fun finds….just all the day to day behind the scenes. Want to see some of these projects in “live” time? Hop on over and follow along with me on INSTAGRAM. (again, for more details on this, see the DIY Coordinates Sign I linked above) Next, I painted the board with a mix of Persian Blue and Halcyon Blue. The letters are also white but hopefully you can see what I mean in the photo. I painted the board white and applied the “laundry” letters. Or you can also use any of these transfer methods to do it if you don’t have a Silhouette machine. So I did this sign very much the way I did the DIY Coordinates Sign (> How To Import Your Own Designs Into Silhouette Cameo. Like most things!
