Here is a bonus cabinet door project; I had completely forgotten about this one until this weekend when I put away the Halloween decor.  No real tutorial – it’s pretty easy!  This door is actually the brother of the door I painted blue and attached my house numbers to (blech.  Fuzzy pic…).

I painted this one a basic neutral tan.  I painted chip board letters from the craft store with black craft paint and a foam brush, then stuck them on to spell “Thankful”.  Play around with your arrangement before you stick them down and make sure your words will fit.  I originally wanted this sign to say “give thanks” but it was too long.  Thankful was just right though, so that’s what it became!

These letters are self stick, and by the end of the season last year, they were starting to pull up.

I scraped them all up carefully with a spatula and used spray adhesive on the back.  Save yourself some work and just use the spray adhesive to begin with!

Spray adhesive is SO messy, but sometimes it really is just the best way to go.   When I am spraying a lot of little pieces like this, I will just pull a magazine or newspaper out of the recycling bin, lay it out, spray and adhere one piece, turn the page and spray the next one.  Keep going with a clean page or sheet of paper for each item you are spraying and you won’t get glue on the front of anything, and you can just pick the whole mess up and throw it away when you’re done.

Here it is in its place in the front entry display at my school.
