Pottery Barn Inspired Holiday Sign

I found a super cute extra large sign on the Pottery Barn website. I wanted to create a scaled down version to be a part of my Christmas decor this season. I found a leftover piece of wood in our scrap pile that we seem to have accumulating in our basement. I grabbed some tan and red paint and some paint brushes to get working.

I painted the board red, and then cut out some letters on my Silhouette machine. I placed the letters on the wooden board.

Then went over the entire board and letters with the tan paint.

I wanted the sign to appear rustic and older, so I was not concerned with any bleed through under the letters. I was actually hoping for a little bit actually instead of the paint looking perfect.  Then I rubbed some sand paper over the entire piece to make it look a little more distressed.

Here is the sign from PB that inspired my scaled down version for this project.  I really love the size of it, but obviously not the price tag.

Pottery Barn Knock Off Napkin Rings

I saw these beautiful napkin rings on Pottery Barn's website for $39.50 for a set of four. I also had seen some cardboard roll napkin ring ideas on Pinterest a few times. I thought I would create my own version of these for my holiday table setting.

Pottery Barn

I purchased some gemstone stickers from Hobby Lobby. Each package was on sale and I used almost two packages of gemstones for each napkin ring.  Each package was $1.50, so that is $3 per napkin ring. I already had the brown paint, and I just used toilet paper rolls that I cut in half.

 I painted the paper rolls, and then cut them into pieces. Then I adhered the sticker rhinestones around the roll after it dried.

 I am very happy with how they turned out. I was able to make four napkin rings for $10 as I did not have to use all of the rhinestones. I think I will make a few more. This year we are having a low key Thanksgiving, so I will not need to many for my table this year.

I made four napkin rings for the price of one of the Pottery Barn's version. I think I may have to make a few more different kinds of cardboard roll napkin rings in the future. It took only about ten minutes to complete.  Thank you for stopping by the blog today.

Pottery Barn Inspired Easter Flag

I found a super cute flag on the Pottery Barn site a few weeks ago.  I show the version I was inspired from below. My version was $4 compared to the $39 PB price tag.  I simply used a burlap sack, painted a bunny in some leftover black paint and then used my Silhouette for the first time to create some lettering for the sack.  I plan on putting this up on a flag pole when Easter time rolls around.  I just used some adhesive at the top to make a fold at the top to place a flag pole through it. Wynn helped me paint the bunny on the sack and I tried to let it look a little distressed by allowing some of the paint to be a little lighter in some areas.
