Keep Calm Halloween Plaques

I have been seeing so many cute ideas using the

KEEP CALM theme.....

I decided to make a simple little project to add to the Sweetwater Halloween Decor!

I started by browsing for some clever ideas......and I found lots of freebies to print!

Thanks to these clever folks for sharing their talents!

I picked three of my favorites.....to use for a fun and simple project!

A few months ago, I bought a six foot section of plain 4 inch trim stock from Home Depot.

I cut it into 6 inch sections....

sanded the rough edges....

and painted them white....

and they made a really fun Mother's Day gift for Mom last year!!!

I still had six of them left....perfect for my little Halloween Plaques once they had a coat of black paint!!!!

Here is the finished project!!!

These three are staying at Sweetwater....

I made another set which made the perfect little birthday gift for a friend!

Promise not to tell her that I didn't spend any money on her gift!!!

But.....knowing this friend.....she would really appreciate THAT!!!

Have a great day!
