Think of a Word

Sunday, October 18, 2009

Last summer I made a great purchase at a garage sale.  For only $5.00 I picked up this entire box of 2 inch black metal letters.  The man who sold them to me said they were one of many items in an estate sale.  I imagine they were used to make signs of some sort and I have been looking forward to creating some of my own.

Here they are.  There are 5-10 of each.



They even came with numbers and the words 'The', 'Mc' and 'De' or is it 'Dc', which I think stands for dollar maybe?



The funny thing about the letters is there is no E, N, R or S.  It's like Wheel of Fortune, try spelling words without those letters!  So I have to be creative.

I had some black 5x7 frames and with the burlap I got on sale the other week I decided to get to work and make some seasonal decorations.



First I cut out the burlap to fit inside the frame.



Then I placed the letters on the glass in the frame and put the burlap as the background.  Very easy.



See the words I came up with for this season.



I even made one for my bedroom.



And one for the bathroom with a background that matches the rest of the room.



I will definitely make more for the holiday season, but would like some suggestions on what to say.  Leave some words or phrases I can make in the comments.  And remember there is no E, N, R or S.  Be creative, I'll show them on future posts.   Thanks for the decorating help!
