Vintage Welcome Sign Project

Create a cozy welcome sign that feels like home just by adding a touch of personal handmade appeal.

To create the faux metal keyhole plate, first trace the heart-shaped keyhole from the expression onto the tracing paper to be used as a template. Then, glue several sheets of black cardstock together, and pound dents into the paper using the back of a craft knife. Using your heart template, cut the shape out of the cardstock, paint the heart with pewter paint, and tack it onto the expression for a charming addition.  Make this project with these supplies:

• Free “Welcome” expression #15877: Shoreline Blue (9054) - This Welcome expression  is a FREE gift with a purchase of $50 or more during the month of March!
