ABC Sampler



While antique store shopping with a friend last year I saw a fantastic alpha sampler. But at $60 I thought I would attempt one myself...



After a coat of ivory paint and stamping the alpha in black paint...



A little distressing and voila!

Not only was I happy with the project but it only took about 10 mintues from start to finish!

I made one for my dear friend Amber as well...my antique store buddy!

Go check out Frugal Friday at The Shabby Nest...

I make signs and had never thought of or seen a sampler. Thanks for the ideas that are now in my head.
Bless your husband for what he does!

I love finding items that can be refinished or reused for other purposes.
