This year when I pulled out my Christmas boxes full of ornaments and decor, I gave a little frown when I saw my “Let it Snow” sign. I’ve hung it for about 6 years and it was starting to show how old and outdated it was.
It was a metal front with lots of soft blues and tans. There was a lot of metal usage in bad ways, lots of odd hanging snowflakes made from sticks. And overall just a very heavy country style going on. Unfortunately I did not get a picture of it in it’s original state, bad blogger.
After one of my kiddos who will go nameless (it was totally kiddo #2) ripped off one of the hanging snowflakes, I knew it was makeover time!

Now, it’s time for another confession beyond owning country styled signs… I sometimes craft without a plan. Some days I am super planner with a sketch and an idea. However, other times, I just get out supplies and wing it. Today was a wing it day.
I did know I was going to go simple.
What supplies do I need to update an old Let It Snow sign?

How to make a new Let It Snow sign from old:
I could probably have pulled back a little on this step as I then spent the next 30 minutes picking fly away glitter from all over the sign, all over my table, all over me, etc…
It is SUCH a huge transformation… from country dull to modern fun!
I’m completely re-in love with this sign now! From old school country to new school modern. Have you made any updates to your existing Christmas decor?
