Our daughter graduated from high school last week and I couldn't just make any old picture display for her senior table. We made a sign.
We always use reclaimed wood and frame out signs. The overall size wound up being around 35 x 38, rather large. I wanted it to pretty much fill the space of the round tables the school was using so this would be the focal point on our girl's table.
I painted her favorite quote on the sign itself so that when she wants to remove the pictures she still has a piece of wall art with something special from her high school years. You could paint anything on it really...an initial, Class of _____, favorite bible verse, the list is endless.
After my sweet man built the sign and I painted her quote on it then we got busy with the decor if you will.
I created a burlap banner with pre-cut flags from Hobby Lobby and thin jute rope.
I used these cute little block stencils to add her name. (Hobby Lobby)
After the banner was all put together with my trusty glue gun, I wrapped twinkle lights around the jute rope. (Hobby Lobby)
At the top of this picture you can somewhat see the twinkle lights. You'll have to forgive me -- I'm was taking a long trip down memory lane when we were sitting up and blogging pictures had been pushed waaay back there in my brain.
Here's a closer shot of the painted quote/distressing.
Couple more close-ups of the signs/photo board.
