Bluebird Sign

The winter cold is officially here. The snow inspired my sign for today.

I painted a scrap piece of wood white and made a bird stencil out of vinyl.



I painted the little guy blue and pulled the vinyl off while the paint was still wet.


An electric sander works great to give the bird a weathered look.




I wanted to stick a postage stamp on the bird...just for fun.


Bye bye birdies!
