    EAT sign; Inspiration from Cougar Town

    I don't know if you've seen Cougar Town, very funny by the way, but I love the houses. Half the reason I watch the show is to see the interiors.
    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!

      Such 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! :)
