Winter Welcome Signs on Old Window Screens

I had so much fun doing the Harvest Blessings Window Screen sign that I had to make some fun winter ones. Take a look at how they turned out - they were so much fun to do!  I love how you can still see through the screen:

 This guy is painted on the neatest old window  - original paint and great corner metal pieces!

 He has some fun rusty snowman garland and a fabric "Winter Welcome" banner.

 He's holding a bird house and a bird is perched on his arm.

 Then there's Mr. Frosty himself.

 He has rusty mittens and a "Warm Winter Wishes" banner topping him off.

There is even a little rusty snowflake covering a flaw in the original screen.  A perfect way to welcome friends and family to your winter home, don't you think?

Harvest Blessings Sign On an Old Window Screen

As you might have guessed from the name of my blog - I love pumpkins! I know it's not quite fall, but when homeschooling starts around my house, my crafting time gets squeezed quite a bit.  So, fall it is!  I tried a new technique this week - and I really like how it turned out.  Of course, I've got to share it with all of my bloggy friends!  Have you tried painting on an old window screen?

I love how you can still see through the painting!

This was so much fun to do!  After painting the pumpkin on the screen, I added additional paint and distressing to the frame.  Then to dress it up, I sewed this little fabric banner dipped in coffee. The "Harvest Blessings" were printed from my computor using transfer paper.  I couldn't resist adding the rusty star garland as a final rustic touch.  What do you think?
