#231 a 5-year-old who is learning his ABCs: last night he wanted the "Blue U's" and we didn't know what he was talking about until he showed me the box of Fruity Pebbles...did you know the U in Fruity is BLUE? funny kid. but at least i know he knows the letter U!
#232 crafting fun: i've seen a variety of "family rules" signs on Pinterest and Etsy so i decided to make my own. i had an old canvas, bought adhesive vinyl letters from wal-mart that didn't really stick to the canvas, and used mod-podge to seal them in place. (now i just need one of those metal picture hangers for it so it doesn't fall off the wall in the middle of the night again. i tried to hang it with Command Picture Hanging Strips--i love 'em since most of our walls are lath and plaster--but they canvas didn't stay stuck to the strips. it could be that it was too heavy and i should have used 4 instead of just 2, but i think i'll get the hardware hangers next just to be sure.)

I love your family rules sign!! Man....you and Shana....I feel so uncreative!! Well,on the other hand, I guess my department would be hanging all of that creative stuff on a wall, since decorating is my hobby! =)
ReplyDeleteI've used command adhesive on canvas before and had it work well, since we have those same wall issues! did you clean the area with alcohol before you put them on, they don't stick unless it's really, really clean i've found. i always clean both surfaces, stick them on and then let them "set" for a few hours before i actually hang the thing on the wall. but i have hundreds of saw tooth picture hangers and i could bring you one next week if you want.

oh, and vinyl letters come in permanent and repositionable, so you may have repositionable ones, because the permanent ones I've worked with aren't going anywhere, so you better not mess them up!
ReplyDeletecute sign!

shana--yeah, i used the repositionable letters. thanks! the command adhesive came off the canvas (not the wall) so it's likely that the frame was too heavy. But the canvas itself might have been the problem. It's one I made myself back in college...so unlike canvases you can buy pre-made, there's actual canvas on the back side that I was trying to stick it too. a saw tooth hanger would be exactly what i need!
