Canvas Open Sign
When I opened a new room at the antique store.
Business was booming and I moved from a little nook in the wall to a full fledged room.
I thought a vintage looking open sign would be adorable.
I am adding affiliate links (in green) so you can order the products I used for this project.
I began with a length of drop cloth fabric.
I painted the fabric with Chalky Paint.
In the morning when the paint was dry, I traced fun lettering in a font called Showboat onto the canvas then colored it in with a Sharpie paint marker.
The finished sign hung from a vintage hanger and announced to all that my new little room was OPEN!

ReplyDeleteLove the font! What is it called?
ReplyDeleteDanelle the font is called 'Showboat' ... :)
DeleteBeautiful sign! How did you trace the lettering onto the canvas??
ReplyDeleteHi Molly I used a piece of carbon paper under the printed letters then painted in the lines :)
DeleteI love how you took something simple, and made something great! Happy 4th of July weekend to all.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Inspired me to make similar one for my friend for her vintage shop in NC. What size of the sign and letters? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi! The letters are about 4" tall. I'm not sure how large the sign is because it sold. I believe about 18" long? Enjoy, I loved it!
