Our House Rules and Origami Owl WINNER!

Winner announced at the bottom of of this post!


 I bought a square canvas at a garage sale for a couple bucks. 
 It was black with a big white tulip close-up. 
Nothing wrong with it, but I didn't buy it for the painting, just the material.  I finally got around to doing my subway art House Rules on it. 
 I love all the super cheap letter stencils that are available out there
 (check Wal Mart!).
  I never have a plan when I start out, just whatever fits good as I go....  I've found myself pointing out "be respectful" to my kids for about every reprimand. Good thing that one really covers the bases!  Now that it's done I've thought of all kinds of "rules" that should have been included! 

(No tooting on each other, burping in faces, using yogurt as lotion... just to name a few.  Those just don't go real well on wall art, though.)

  2. This looks so great! I love your rules, too, though I'd *have* to add to "no burping in faces" bit. My son thinks that's hilarious to do.

    If you haven't already, I'd love if you'd come join my How To Tuesday link party, too.

  4. I've created a house rules sign, but I haven't made it yet. All the ones I've found required using a Silouette or Cricut, which I'm too cheap to buy. I wasn't sure if stencils would work, but you've proven they do! Yay! Now I just need to head to Wal-Mart and find more stencils since I only have two sets. Your finished product turned out awesome!
