When I received this Christmas Blend Hot Cocoa stencil to try out from Donna at Funky Junk Interiors, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. The stencil is more of a square shape, but it was really easy to play around with the placement and just use the elements that fit on these 20" x 8" boards.
I knew I was saving the sides of a broken old drawer for some reason. I didn't even bother patching the nail holes. Nail holes are good!
The stars were stenciled with metallic gold paint, then a tiny Swarovski crystal was glued in the center of each star for a little sparkle.
I added a couple of eye hooks and twine for hanging. The mini chalkboard says OPEN on one side and CLOSED on the other.
Two hot cocoa signs are better than one.
I played around with the placement of the stencil again, then added three cup hooks to the bottom of the sign.

The trees are topped off with two metallic silver stars and one decorative silver star charm.
Oh what fun it is to play with Funky Junk's Old Sign Stencils!!!
I'd love for you to stay connected with My Salvaged Treasures. I'm just one click away.

ReplyDeleteI love your sign Betsy! It's so charming, and you're right... nail holes are good.
ReplyDeleteBetsy,
ReplyDeleteWhen the images of the sign popped up in front of my eyes, I thought, "That looks very professional." and sure enough it was Salvaged Treasures! Dang, girl, you are good! And the jadeite cups certainly add a wonderful touch, for their color and shape. My grandmother rented what was called a fountain at a dime store in the early 1950s. She sold hot chocolate, milk shakes, grilled cheese sandwiches, hamburgers, all the typical fountain food. And she stocked the counter with jadeite dishes. I think they were the go-to dishes for many diners. After she ended her business, her pantry off the kitchen was packed with jadeite. I always think of her when I see it. Thank you for the enjoyable read.

I absolutely love these signs! Homemade Christmas gifts are the best because they're more personal and in your case look like a million bucks! Way to make me look bad this year, haha. Like you I think I have the creative ability but it's the time factor that stops me from doing things like this. I absolutely love all your projects on here! Thanks for sharing
