Monday Made It: Name Sign

Hey everyone!

I'm hoping classroom pics come soon, but it's been CRAZY these past two weeks let me tell you.

Middle schoolers crack me up which is why I wanted to teach them, but man, it's rough getting them to listen at times!

Anyway, I made this awesome sign for my name and luckily it's Monday Made It. I saw various forms of this all over different blogs, but here's my take on it.

My instagram pic of it :D

First get a canvas and paint it whatever you want (I went with rainbow chevron) - I bought the canvas from Joann, had the paint, the letters from Michael's, and had the foam brush. To get the chevron effect, I just used the tip of my brush and made a zig zag :)

Done painting and letting it dry!

Place your letter stickers on! (I created the deformed period from the middle of the D haha) 

Paint all over it in black 

Peel of letters carefully and voila!

TIPS: 1. have the same type of paint throughout, my blue was glossy as compared to my other ones and you can tell :/ 2. peel the letters while the paint is still kinda wet. I waited till it was completely dry (I had to leave the house) and thus it got STUCK on. My lovely sis-in-law helped me pull off all the letters, but you can still tell. 

And there you have it, my lovely name plate for my classroom - it hangs above my desk! (This is about 10X24 I think? Or something similar)
