I saw an EAT sign in Courtney Cox's kitchen. I believe it's from Anthropologie and I think it's just under $50. There have been a few of our fellow bloggers who have done takes on the EAT sign, Here's mine:
First I bought the letters from Jo Ann fabric, they were around $2 each.
Then I took Fabric from the pillows I recently made and cut it into strips.
I used Modge Podge to to glue the fabric to the letters!
It was all very easy, and now I have a sign that matches my decor perfectly :) And for under $10 (fabric was free because it was leftover from my pillow project, and it only took half a jar of modge podge).
Project Tips:
- Use thin fabric, thick canvas won't bend into the corners well.
- wear old pants, I ruined my sweats :)
- Be liberal with the Modge Podge
- cut your fabric into thin strips about 2 inches thick by 4 inches long works best!
Great idea, these paper mache letters are the best!!! Recently used them to make DIY Architectural Letters resembling metal...endless possibilities!

ReplyDeletewhat a great idea! I am going to do this in my living room. Not the word eat but maybe our last name. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea and see those big letters and Hobby Lobby all the time! Now I need to think of a word, lol!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! Did my daughter's name with these letters and modge. How did you hang it?
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun project with terrific results! I wish I had a spot on my kitchen wall for the word EAT, too :-) Liking the idea so much, though, that I think I'll come up wiht a wee word that will work in my home office. Cheers!

I LOVE your take on it! And, that paisley fabric? I used it for a pillow a few years ago and it's the pillow in my living room that I get the most compliments on! :)
ReplyDeleteCute! What did you use to hang the letters on the wall? I love your blog, btw. I am always so inspired to clean or organize after reading it! Thanks for the inspiration!
