Hi Everyone! Happy Friday! I hope you have all had a great week. I've been trying to get caught up on things since my big craft fair last Saturday. It was a great day and I'll share pictures and details of the day in the next couple of days. Meanwhile, I want to show you one of the things that I made for the Clarinda Craft Carnival. Here are the before pictures.
I took apart this headboard so I could use the posts as legs for an armless bench that I made (I'll be sharing this with you too.) I didn't like the top of the posts (sorry no picture) so this was not my favorite headboard. But once it was apart, I loved the bottom of the posts which I used on that armless bench and the back of the headboard made a great sign.These are more parts of the broken chair that I used on another sign. So I decided to use them as the pegs for this sign. I attached the pegs and painted the whole thing in Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint in Old White. And then handpainted the lettering in black.
This was the only picture I could find of it and it was taken at the craft fair. There are seven pegs across the bottom, alternating between a large peg and a little peg. I really liked how it turned out and it sold early in the day on Saturday. In fact, I sold all but three of the signs that I took. So it was a great day for my handpainted signs. Thanks for stopping by!
yay! for good sales, and yippee for headboard signs! I love 'em.
