Giant projects with the Silhouette and a can of spray paint
Finally managed to clear one of those surfaces that just seems to become a magnet for clutter—which is a major accomplishment for me! So I decided to celebrate with something that would allow just the right amount of decorative clutter but be big enough that I wouldn’t dare start stacking any old rubbish next to it! It turned out to be such an easy project that there were really just four steps from start to finish.
To start, choose the wording (this is a Shins lyric) and some fonts (I used Selfish and Blackout), getting the sizing right and cut out the letters. This is super fast and accurate on the Silhouette but obviously scissors will work too.
Adhere letters to giant sheet of plywood using repositionable adhesive.
Head outside, cover surfaces to protect them and spray paint as much or as little as you like. Let dry, obviously. Peel off paper letters.
Add pretty clutter and call it done.
Clearly, you could do that without step-by-step photos. I just thought the steps were a bit pretty, if I’m honest. And now you’ve seen the wall of our dining room!
