A few months ago my husband found some vintage wooden windows and brought them home. They weren't anything fancy, but they were free!
I had already used one for a creative project (seen here) and it sold the day I took it into the shop! So I decided to do something similar to this one.
I started by using my Silhouette to cut a transfer of some birds. Then I added a phrase from one of my favorite songs and applied the vinyl to the back of the window.
I taped off the bottom window, applied a spray-on primer, and painted it with chalkboard paint.
I need to put hangers on it and it's ready to take to the shop.
I wonder how long this one will last?

It won't last a day either! Too cute.
ReplyDeleteI love it, Cyndi! That vinyl graphic just makes the piece!
ReplyDeleteBet it was sold the moment you posted about it in someone's mind! I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh it won't last long at all! Very sweet! ... And it's too early to go back to school!
ReplyDeleteOh I love what you did. How cute. Good luck in school It has to be hard to go back 3 weeks before the kids do.
ReplyDeleteI just gave away a bunch of vintage window frames just like that. Wish I'd seen this post first! Very neat idea. :)
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't last long if I was in your shop. Really cute! Love the combo of chalk paint and pretty on top. Very cute! So glad you shared your creative inspiration with Sunday’s Best – your creativity helped make the party a success!
ReplyDeleteOh, I really like this! I've found so many projects that I need to do. I NEED a Silhouette!!! Thanks for sharing! :D

That window can last for a longer period if you’ll gonna be careful enough in using the chalkboard. I hope you placed very tight hangers that will prevent the window from falling. It might hurt anyone that will be cut by the glass. I hope you’re enjoying the use of this chalkboard now. :)

If it’s in your shop, I bet it won’t last long before someone will readily grab and buy this one. You breathed new life into the old window with the chalkboard, and how you re-designed this is absolutely spectacular! Well, I can see you’re very crafty and I think whoever bought this will enjoy the beauty it can add to where they’ll place this. :)
