Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign

As I mentioned before I have some things for sale at Atown here in Austin.  I needed to make some sort of display for the store but I could not think of anything.  I stressed about it until the very last minute.  My last resort was going to be to make a picture frame similar to my magnetic picture frame with my logo so I went ahead and tried to make that.  But then when I made it I loved it!  I think it's perfect!

I used an 11x14 silver picture frame and covered it with blue fabric.  I couldn't find the exact blue from  my logo so I had to use a different blue.  I actually like it that way more because the logo stands out more than if it matched exactly.  Then I printed my logo on cardstock and some white felt clouds that matched the cloud in my logo and attached them to the fabric.  Since the frame I bought was a hanging frame I bought a cute little silver stand for it and then I was done!



 After talking to my friend Renee we decided it might be a little too big for my display at Atown so I ended up making an 8x10 version from the silver frame I used to make my magnetic frame.


I'm secretly happy that the 11x14 frame was too big because I can use it for my booth at craft shows now.  :-)  Yay!

Do you have any fun display ideas?

I love them! They both look great! I've been sticking to the pennant flag theme for a while now but if I ever change it up I'm looking to you for inspiration!

Thanks, everybody! :)

Kate - I laughed when I read your comment because I was actually looking at pictures of your display and wishing mine would look as cute as yours. I have been looking around the internet for ideas, too. Some of my favorites are on Pinterest. I'm sure I'll find plenty more by the time I'm done.
