DIY Framed Glass Floating Signs
I am all about the minimalist Christmas look (check out my decorated mantel.) Plus I love that you can use these framed glass floating signs all winter season. Start by printing off this free printable saying “All is Calm” and “All is Bright” It’s in PDF format so you just have to click or download. Grab it here:
Next take your picture frame and carefully remove the glass. You can buy any size frame at the dollar store or paint an old frame any colour. Discard the backing.
Place the glass part of your frame on one of the printable phrases and trace the letters using a paint pen or permanent marker. Wait for your marker to full dry on the glass. I bought a marker made for glass at the dollar tree but ended up using a Sharpie instead. The Sharpie is a bit thicker and turned out better in my opinion.
Add a dap of hot glue on the front of each corner of the glass and carefully place the glass back on the frame.
Now just set it on your mantel, bookshelf or any place you want to add a little Christmas cheer.
