Welcome back friends and family. Today if like to show you a quick little DIY. I found this little sign at Dollar Tree a few weeks ago and thought it was cute as is but wanted to make it just a bit better.
The next thing I did was to sand away any rough surface around the hole. Once that was done I used just a regular black sharpie and put dots and small lines all along the outside of the letters just to make them stand out just a little more. I think it really made the letters pop and made it look just a bit more high end.
I took one of the little sailboats and painted it with this acrylic paint that was gifted to me by a friend. I really like it cause it's thick and usually only takes one coat.
I loved the blue color. It goes well with the nautical theme we have going in the bathroom. I love a nautical themed bathroom. Anyway, I used my hot glue gun to attach the sailboat to the sign. I felt like it needed just a little something else so I cut 2 small strands of blue yarn and tied a quick bow and frayed the ends and hot glued that on as well.
I think it turned out so cute and will look great on this hanging shelf in the bathroom with some succulents or other greenery.
Now, like I said, this is cute as is and can easily be placed on a shelf or a tired tray and be perfect for you. I wanted it to be a little extra. I removed the flower but will keep it for another project. It came right out without any extra tools or anything.

I found this really cute garland with wooden beads and these little circles with sailboats back when Dollar Tree had all their nautical décor out at the beginning of summer.
And just like that I was able to make a cute and quick DIY for only a couple dollars and only took me about 10 minutes to do. Anyone can take inexpensive home décor items and turn them into higher end looking pieces with just a bit of creativity.
Happy decorating. Check us out in Facebook as well by searching the groups for ClassySassyDIYandMore. This is where I will send out notifications of upcoming posts and also have discussions about possible other blog post ideas.
