JAKE letters for his room!!

hey, look what I made Art Board!!
I have seen these around and have been wanting to make some for the kiddos!! I am loving these so much and was completely shocked at how easy these were to make!!
I went to Home Depot and bought an 8in. width board for about $10 bucks BUT I will be able to make 3 signs so you are looking at about $3.30 for the board! I bought white, pink and green paint which all together it cost around $1.50! The vinyl about another $.50! The most expensive part was the clamps on the bottom to hold the art work. You need 5 of them and they come 2 to a pack, so you will need 3 packs. I went to Robert's Crafts (any craft store will have some version of them) and they were $2.99 a pack. They go on sale every now and then but I really wanted them so I just paid for them so, for me, it was another $9, but you can get them o sale if you plan it out. So this board cost me $14 and I am so happy with how it turned out and so are my kids!! Now I just have 2 more to make :)

My kids door signs!!
Jake's sign cost me ruffly $1.50!!! I got the wooden circle at Hobby Lobby. It was $.99 but it was 50% off so I got it for a whopping $.50!! The scrapbook paper was another $.50 and the vinyl was about another $.50!! I just mod podged the paper on the wood sign and cut the vinyl and placed it where I wanted it then took a distressed ink pad and took it around the edges and voila it is done!! So simply but cute!!
I really like this one!! This one cost me about $2.70!! I bought the wood plaque at Hobby Lobby for only $2.00! It was on sale, of course!! I painted it pink which was about $.20! Then took a cutip and white paint and dotted it all up :) Then finally the vinyl which cost about $.50! The girls saw this and said...."Oh my goodness mommy, it is beautiful, I love it!!" Ahh....just the reaction I wanted!!
