Valentine's Painting Party Follow Up


I wrote a post awhile back that I would be hosting a Valentine's sign painting class.  It was a success!  I held the party Saturday night and had 5 painters attend.  It was a small class but fun.  We chatted and painted and the ladies signs turned out so cute!  

Before the party I prepared by cutting all of the wood that I would need for my guests and 1 extra of each design that I could paint and display at the party.


Next I brought my Cricut into the kitchen and began cutting the stencils. 


Next I laid out all of my paints, brushes, signs and stencils and got busy painting an example of each style.  I wanted to be sure that my guests could see in-person what the finished product would look like and have different color combo options to look at. 



My next step was to get set up for the party.  I covered my tables with disposable coverings, hung the signs that I had painted on the wall along with all of the paint brushes and set the paints, signs and stencils out on the tables for my guests.  They all painted (and made much less of a mess than I did!) and were finished with their products within 2 hours of beginning.  Quick and easy! AND so cute!!!


 

This guest finished her sign off with some antiquing wax and I just love how it turned out!
My daughter liked it so much that she used her left-over paint and re-created the look at home later!



After the party was finished I cleaned up the party room and placed the signs that I had painted into my area to be sold.  I had fun at this party and can't wait until the next!  If you would like to join us for the next party just let me know






Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
