"E-A-T"

I have loved seeing all the "EAT" commands?! going up in kitchens all over blogland.

I wanted my own EAT...but wanted metal letters.

I was struggling to find them...so...I made my own.

I bought these letters at Hobby Lobby, along with some silver leafing.

(I was hoping by silver leafing the letters they would have a bit more dimension then if I just spray painted them).

I did spray paint the backs with some leftover silver spray paint.

(probably not necessary...but whatever)

Then I used some generic spray adhesive and put a coat on the top and sides of each letter.

I laid a piece of the silver leafing on and gently rubbed it on.

I continued till they were all covered.

I let them sit for about an hour (so they were completely dry) and then I wiped them again so any excess silver leafing would flake off.

I hung them using the 3m velcro sticky tabs.

I like how they turned out...the font isn't my favorite, but I don't hate it:)

In the pictures they kinda look like I spray painted them, but in real life they have a lot of dimension:)

I'm linkin' to these parties.
