Silver Tray “Welcome” Sign
Posted by melissa on Aug 7, 2012 in Daisy's room, yard sale | 8 comments
So, my oldest daughter starts school tomorrow!
I do not know if I am ready for the 5:30 wake-up.
Thank goodness for coffee!
I think I might have to treat myself to some yummy creamer. . .
Peppermint Mocha is always my splurge.
I hope to paint her room this week.
My goal is for her room to be complete in the next 2 weeks.
We have been taking it slow.
There was just too much summer fun to be had!
Now, it is time to get it in gear!
Here is a quick, cheap little craft for her door.
I picked up this tray at a yard sale on Saturday for 25 cents.
I think I am going to start carrying a magnet in my pocket.
I never know what is going to be magnetic and what is not?
I guess I did not pay enough attention in Science class?!
I was thrilled to find out that this one is magnetic.
I added some twine for a hanger.
Then, I backed it with fleece to keep it from hitting the door so hard.
I just used hot glue.
It seems to hold well.
I made a flower magnet.
I started with a couple of crocheted flowers that I had already made.
(A great way to use scraps of yarn.)
I learned how to make them from a great video tutorial from Little Birdie Secrets.
You can watch it here.
(Or, you can buy them at the craft store!)
I added a button and a felt leaf.
I hot glued them all together and glued a magnet to the back.
Daisy used her Cameo and rubber stamps to make a “welcome” sign.
The other side says, “Please knock.”
She is old enough that she is ready for a little privacy from her younger sisters!
Off to another Open House for my 2 younger girls!
Life to the full to you!
Here are the places that I party!

Very cute, Melissa! Love the tray’s details and your flower turned out great.
So sweet…I’ve made something similar for photos. LOVE that little flower magnet detail 🙂 I always say I’m going to carry a magnet too..so many things look magnetic that aren’t. Thanks for the visit! Laurel
Very cute! Love the addition of the crocheted flower!
You’re such a good mommy!!
Who starts school on a Thursday? Is it online school?
Thank you for sharing! What a cute idea!
Darling sign!
I’m with you on the magnetism thing. 🙂
You have a cute blog look too!
Oh this is so cute, I love the little silver platter as a base for the sign, great idea 🙂
