You Are My Sunshine wall art

I have a sign that was given to me by my granny and it’s been hanging in our room forever but the more and more I looked at it, the less I was liking the style. Not to mention, after my changes I made to our master bedroom, it didn’t fit the décor. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to make something and keep it in our room or do something for another room in the house. Well, I decided to make something for our little one =) So here we go…

Before, the sign looked like this…

I got to use some of my paint samples I bought a few weeks ago too. Love this yellow!
Sunshine sign 4
The only thing I wish I would have done differently was SAND it first! Those little dots at the points/intersections of each letter were raised significantly. Rookie mistake, I know Winking smile

Didn’t have a pic of the stencil but I made it on my SCAL software and then cut it out on the Cricut. After the first cut, I did remake two words that the font was just too teeny tiny and transferred poorly but it was no biggie. AND, I’m ashamed to admit this, but I also redid the word “skies” because…wait for it…I spelled it “skys.” Yes, I am an English major. Yes, my husband noticed it.  And yes, I could not just leave it there like he said to. Oh, and skip buying the primer gray spray paint at the Dollar General. I think it must have been more of a latex paint and I had to be very careful pulling the letters off. Never had a problem with some of the paint I’ve bought there before (I have mad love for the DG) but this didn’t work as well.

Ta-daaah! There are definitely some imperfections but I do love it. It’s my first detailed sign so I think it will do. Can’t wait to put it up in Kenna’s room.

    Very nice! I totally get that the "typo" MUST be changed...even if it's just for your home. :)
