Apply a phrase, single word or logo design to one side of the acrylic using adhesive vinyl and add a swipe of paint to the back side. Together this combination adds a pop of color for a custom look at will be loved in your home or event!

Have you been seeing this painted acrylic trend pop up on Instagram as much as I have? I see it used a lot for events, like a seating chart, but it’s just a fun to add a pop of color in your own home, just for your family to see! I’ve been dying to give this painted acrylic sign a try since I had a few leftover pieces of acrylic from a recent project.

Often when you get acrylic pieces they are covered in a film and in this case, it was blue, as seen above.

I designed a phrase in Illustrator (which I’ve made available to you free as an svg file) and broke out my Cricut Maker to cut it on a cream colored adhesive vinyl.

After weeding and cutting the words apart in order to lay them out correctly, I was able to add them to one side of the acrylic pieces using transfer tape. Again, I can’t say enough about the Cricut 5 piece basic tool kit that helped me with this project as I used the scrapper, weeding hook and scissors to get this part done!

Next, I flipped it over and gave it a little quick swipe of paint with my Deco Art acrylics. I only did one layer of paint on this one as it was my first time ever doing this, but in the future I will probably do a second one on the back to give it a little deeper coverage. I really love how it came out, especially the dry brush like swipes at the ends!

Once dry, I flipped it over and placed this painted acrylic sign as my fall mantle centerpiece! It was a fun way to bring in a little color and a fall message without too clunky of a piece. There’s no doubt I’ll be making another of these in the future!

This is by no means the most glamorous upgrade, but it was a necessary one. I picked up this new shoe storage rack at @wayfair and cleaned up the floor in our garage space.

Not shown: installing the racks the first time and having the side brackets upside down and having to redo them. 🙈
