Have Yourself a "Big" Merry Little Christmas Sign

If you come to visit me this Holiday Season,

my wall will welcome you!

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"

will be a big bright happy expression.

This will be my little Christmas corner.

I've got my stockings out, the tree halfway up,

but I always love the sparkly lights anytime.

You could even make this sign to hang outdoors.

Mine measures 30" x 49".

Right, a BIG Merry little Christmas!

I used 1/4" underlayment.

($13 for the whole 4' x 8' sheet)

I framed the board with furring strips.

Here is the construction on back:

To make sure some of the paint would sand off,

I wiped on a little vaseline over the

brown painted surface. (just random and sparse)

That way, after the off white paint,

some places will sand and look chippy old.

I didn't use a photoshop layout this time.

I made a sketch and then measured, marked,

and taped where my lettering would go.

I chalked in all of the design and lettering first.

Easy to change.

Using a flat brush laying in the thick shadow,

Then on it's side for edging.

Then a liner brush in darker charcoal for the drop shadow.

Easy grays, whites, charcoals, and browns

make a restful palette,

and will anchor my cozy Christmas Corner.

This year, my nook will be neutral.

But can't you just see this sign 

in red with white letters!!

I tucked some rosemary clippings in a water pouch

inside of my burlap ribbon.

I love Thanksgiving Week.

But I had to get jump started on my Christmas projects

so that I can share them with all of my creative friends!!

I have more fun things that I'm adding to my Christmas corner.

I will be sharing those later this week.

Hope to see you back soon.

Blessings Friends!
