Vintage Winter Carnival Board

winter carnival board

I have been feeling like my January décor is still lacking.  I have been looking for ideas to add to my home décor.  I came across a vintage winter carnival design online.  I really liked the idea.  The sign I found had a lot of yellow and red in it,  I wasn’t really digging the color scheme it was done in.  I decided to design my to own to fit with my blue and white winter décor for January.   I used most of the same wording and added a few of my own ideas to the winter contest area of the board.  I designed the wording  using my personal cutting machine, and cut out the design on teal vinyl.  I painted a 22″ X 10″ board white, while the board was drying I cut out a few different designs and sizes of snowflake templates.  I placed the templates all over the painted board and sponge painted the snowflakes gray.  Next I gave the board a quick sand to give it a vintage feel.   I centered and applied the vinyl design.  Last I covered the board in Mod Podge and sprinkled a clear glitter over the entire board to give it a snow or icicle effect.

The board is so SPARKLY!!!  I love how it catches the light and fits perfect with my other January décor.
