Eat!

I have empty space between my cabinets in the kitchen. It's right above the sink and this space is very annoying. I've never been sure what to put there. Over at Craftomaniac she created a burlap EAT sign. I loved it so I made my own recently.

I don't have the fancy Silhouette vinyl machine so I had to do it the ghetto way! I bought three 4 x 6 frames from the Dollar Tree and spray painted them flat black. At Hobby Lobby I found burlap scrapbook paper and cut it to fit the frame. In Microsoft Word I found the font I liked and printed out the letters. Very carefully I cut each letter out and glued them on the paper. Easy! Then, I was finally able to find the right color of burlap at Hobby Lobby after Christmas and cut out the straps to hang the frames with. I looked for a fancy rod like in the original picture but I couldn't find one so I had to settle for a small $5 curtain rod from Target. It works I guess. So there it is!

Let's eat!

OH' EEEH SQUEAL! WHEN i SAW these in my link party I THOUGHT how cute, wait? OH' MY! HA.. something like that. Anyway, they turned out great, nothing like someone making your exact craft (with or without vinyl) I get a lot of inspired type crafters but when someone makes me exact thing.. I AM SO TICKLED, and flattered. It looks great!!! Thanks for the linky love too. jen

This is really cute, I don't have a machine either - aren't you glad you were brave enough to do it by hand?? :) ~Lori
