Some phrases are always just a wee bit crooked. This gives me the idea to do it all in white, therefore keeping design together and then spray painting certain phrases. Yay! Can't wait to try it on my next project.Bella62https://www.blogger.com/profile/17109409786418683580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021963321489275438.post-73567025640755436962015-10-23T09:16:17.819-04:002015-10-23T09:16:17.819-04:00I used this same concept back in June of thisyear....I used this same concept back in June of thisyear. Our VBS sign needed a time change, but my church didn't want to pay to replace 9 characters (you wouldn't believe the quoted price). I used contact paper & a twee bit of rubber cement to adhere the numbers/symbols to the vinyl banner. I spray painted it dark purple using a Krylon plastic paint. It wasn't an exact match, but very close. Now, I don't buy colored vinyl. I make my own. Trying the metallic paint for a wall monogram for my daughter next. Cross your fingers!

I do dumb stuff all the time and when you show your mistakes and how to fix them it really makes me feel so mush better. Plus, its always such a great idea. I would have never thought to paint the vinyl. I would have been scared that all that paint would have stuck on the door. Then I would have had to repaint my whole door again. Such a great idea. I think I'll have to remember this next time I need a special color they don't make. Thanks again! Keep up the good work. We all love you crafty people there. <3<br />Thanks again. <br />KathyBusy Bee Vinyl Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14110429859729636024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021963321489275438.post-69970719189105871822015-10-22T13:54:08.011-04:002015-10-22T13:54:08.011-04:00You know what I love?

That you tell us when you cut a white piece of vinyl for a white door! Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who does those things. Disappointment galore a couple weeks ago when I weeded the wrong part of the vinyl!! Ugh. But that piece is safe and sound for another sign. :-) Thanks for your blog.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490221436944711548noreply@blogger.com
